'Pennywise Tickets'

'

In 1988, the punk rock band, Pennywise, was formed in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and in 1990, it signed with Epitaph Records, releasing its self-titled debut album,

Pennywise

, in 1991. Since that initial release, the group has released one album every two years like clockwork. Pennywise's first two albums received critical acclaim but were not commercial successes, but its 1995 album, appropriately named

About Time

, put the group on the

Billboard

Hot 200, peaking at No 96. This success may not be surprising as it coincided with a renewed interest in punk music that was occurring during the mid-'90s when other punk bands, such as

Rancid

and

Green Day

, were also amassing a following. Since the release of

About Time

, every album Pennywise has released has ranked in the

Billboard

Hot 200 with the band's highest-ranking album,

From the Ashes

, reaching No 54.

'Rising From the Ashes'

'

Pennywise has experienced its share of roadblocks and tragedies, yet it has risen from the ashes every single time. In 1996, the band experienced a major tragedy. The original bassist for Pennywise, Jason Thirsk, left the band with the hopes of conquering his alcoholism. Thirsk was initially successful, giving the band hope that he may be able to return. Unfortunately, he lost his battle and took his own life on July 29, 1996, while Pennywise was recording the album titled

Full Circle

. When

Full Circle

was released, Pennywise dedicated it to the memory of Jason Thirsk. Another roadblock the band had to go through occurred after the release of its album,

All or Nothing

. In August of 2009, the lead singer, Jim Lindberg, left Pennywise. The group replaced him with Zoli Téglás, who performed vocals on the

All or Nothing

album. Shortly after, Zoli injured his back and could not continue with the band. Fortunately, Lindberg decided to come back.
