Band: Pennywise
Release: All Or Nothing
Release Date: Out Now
Pennywise are one of those bands that stand as legends and pioneers in their field, which is a title they deserve.
Now it’s easy to dismiss bands when there are drastic line up changes and some would even argue that it is not the same band anymore – especially when the vocalist or frontman is that said change.
Pennywise have come back with their tenth album in 21 years and this one may well have silenced the critics. It has in my book anyway.
There’s still the same Pennywise signature sound, led by Fletcher Dragge’s guitar lines and solid song foundations, opening the stage completely for Zoli Teglas (Ignite) to earn his place. It would be easy for some fans to compare the bands, but giving ‘All Or Nothing’ a good listen cements the fact that this is still Pennywise, but there’s something new and fresh which will be welcomed by the majority in my opinion.
Overall this would be a recommended album for any California/skate-punk/general music fan and this definitely lives up to the band’s reputation and style.
8/10
