PENNYWISE
American punk icons Pennywise were one of the key bands of the punk revival of the '90s, achieving mainstream success alongside contemporaries like Rancid, blink-182, Bad Religion, Green Day, the Offspring, Sublime, and NOFX. Using California hardcore as a foundation, the group incorporated funk-metal and skatepunk, resulting in a speedy and catchy sound with heavy, propulsive rhythms and positive, optimistic lyrics that stood in pointed contrast to their grunge-addled peers. Through constant touring and recording, as well as appearances at surfing and snowboarding concerts and in videos, Pennywise developed a dedicated following among post-hardcore punk audiences via career-making albums like About Time, Fuse, Land of the Free, and Full Circle.

The echoing piano melody that opens Pennywise's 1993 effort, Unknown Road, suggests a more thoughtful side to a band known more for raw energy and aggression than introspection. The almost melancholy intro barely winds down before Pennywise launches full bore into the title track with simultaneous fury and accuracy. Pennywise hits a new level of controlled chaos on Unknown Road with a finely tuned, tightly wound musical attack. Jim Lindberg's caffeine-fueled, angst-ridden diatribes on lost time and personal responsibility mesh seamlessly with Fletcher Dragge's fiercely visceral, yet melodic guitar crunch. Scorching personal anthems like "It's Up to Me" and "You Can Demand" showcase the concept of the do it yourself ideal that has been alive and kicking since the inception of punk...(AllMusic)
