Pennywise frontman Jim Lindberg recently told Easy Reader News that the band has been revisiting old, unreleased songs to piece together their upcoming 25th anniversary box set:
“Right now we’re working on old songs because we’re trying to put out a box set and trying to figure out what that’s going to look like. We’ve started playing really old songs that didn’t make it onto our Epitaph releases, trying to remember those songs. We’re all really stoked on playing them again and having them come to life. You can definitely tell the difference. They are more the type of music we started out playing before the influences of being signed to a record deal. I think some of our fans will be interested to see what we sounded like before we sold our souls so to speak.”
The Hermosa Beach punk legends are currently working on a new album, which will be their first with original singer Jim Lindberg since 2008’s Reason to Believe. Their latest album All or Nothing was released in May, 2012 on Epitaph Records.
