CD Reviews: Pennywise

Time to empty the pool, strap on the Vans, whack on a bandanna and imagine you are transported to Southern California circa 1988.

Yesterdays might sound like an attempt to recapture their former glory, but there is a very sound reason for Pennywise to release this.

Lifted from a cassette recorded way back, the band, led by original vocalist Jim Lindberg, relearned the tracks in a couple of days.

Guitars bristle like buzzsaws, drums drive like a jackhammer and with barely any songs breaking the three-minute barrier, Yesterdays is urgent, visceral and a great gift to their hardcore fans.

  • Pennywise. Yesterdays. Epitaph.
  • 4 stars out of 5
