Offspring Can Still Draw A Crowd

I was probably one of only two people at the Amphitheatre who was there primarily to see opening act Frank Turner (the other being my friend Michael, who was putting up the British singer/songwriter at his house for the night), and the two bands that followed didn't sway my opinion. Turner's Love Ire & Song (which was recently picked up by...

Punk Rock Dad: No Rules, Just Real Life

Pennywise singer Jim Lindberg seems the most unlikely candidate for parenting or writing a book about it. Yet through his honest, sincere and humourous recounting of the pressures of parenting three kids while teaching the world to "fuck authority," you learn he's an authority. Fellow punk parents will chuckle at the been-there, done-...

Pennywise — The Fuse

Pennywise have always been punk favourites and rightly so — they're one of the few genuine punk bands we've got left.

Pennywise Hate Punk

Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge is disgusted with punk. In its current state, the term "punk rock" has become about as meaningless and devoid of description as "alternative." It wouldn't scare a 12-year-old. In fact, that's probably the scene's biggest demographic. Together since 1988 and having just released their...

Pennywise — Live At The Key Club

There's always been a distinctly crap-alicious quality to live punk recordings, and sadly, Pennywise's Live At The Key Club isn't an exception. The performance sounds like it was recorded through a roll of toilet paper and has a distinct mono sound to it (the press release calls this "raw"). At times, Jim Lindberg's voice has that out-of...
