Southern California veteran punk band Pennywise has been getting back to its roots lately in more ways than one. Not only has original frontman Jim Lindberg reunited with the band after departing for a spell in 2009, but Pennywise's first project with Lindberg back in the fold is an album that features never-before-recorded songs written by original bassist Jason Thirsk, who passed away in 1996. Aptly titled Yesterdays, the barrage-like album is a rough, raw look at the early days of the band. Before Pennywise took on their angrier, politically minded message, Thirsk was writing hopeful, unity-promoting songs influenced by the idea of PMA, or "positive mental attitude." "Us going back and recording these songs was a huge inspiration because it reminded us of where we were when we started, and why people responded to the band in such a powerful way," Lindberg says in their online bio. A Wilhelm Scream and Teenage Bottlerocket will also perform. (Kolbie Stonehocker)
