Sensational punk rock bands Pennywise, Strung Out, Unwritten Law, and Runaway are bringing their electrifying sounds to Paradise Rock Club!
Pennywise is a punk rock band that was formed in Hermosa Beach (California) in 1988 and takes its name from the main antagonist of Stephen King's 1986 horror novel ‘It’. The band was formed by singer Jim Lindberg, guitarist Fletcher Dragge, drummer Byron McMackin, bassist Jason Thirsk and they released 2 EPs (A Word from the Wise and Wildcard) in 1989. They got a record deal with Epitaph Records in 1990 and released their eponymous debut album a year later. It went viral in the punk community and helped to re-establish the Southern Californian punk rock scene. The band went through numerous line-up changes over the years and it currently consists of Jim Lindberg (vocals), Fletcher Dragge (guitars), Randy Bradbury (bass), and Byron McMackin (drums). Their work focuses on political and moral wrongs and their musical style of fast, palm-muted sounds has become very influential to other punk bands such as Phinius Gage, Consumed, and 4ft Finger. In 2014, the band went on a summer tour that was supported by renowned acts such as Bad Religion, The Offspring, The Vandals, Stiff Little Fingers, and Naked Raygun.
