Tony Hawk
[edit]- Someone screwed up when they said that "Society" was a track on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (as in the first one). It was actually Top Skater. I fixed it, and I know there were more, but I can't for the life of me remember what they were. Little help?
- Removed the comment " (because they were never main-streamed) " at the end of the discography, since i can't see a reason for it to be there.
--Hey, ah I think the comment Full Circle and Straight Ahead were not as popular as the previous records is highly inaccurate. Full Circle was their highest selling record and reached the top 100 on the billboard charts if I'm not mistaken. If anything, the band grew in popularity after '97 and Full Circle.
Start date
[edit]Hello there,
The band consist from 1998, but their first 7' was A word from the wise with Final Chapters (this is the first song ever written by Pennywise). The songs on Wilcard 7' are recorded in 1989, but are released in 1992 on Theologian Records. I spoke to Mark Theodore and he said the first release of Wilcard was in 1992. After the release in 1992 they a compilation cd and that's the cd Wilcard/A word from the wise.
The Wilcard 7' could never been released in 1988, because the songs are recorded in 1989! But the songs are bad so the band didn't release immediately after they recorded the songs.
Covers
[edit]There should be a section for songs covered by Pennywise on the article.
Oit of print
[edit]The Wildcard 7 is not out of print. Just look at the www.theologianrecords.com. I also contacted Marc Theodore from Theologian and he also said they still print the Wildcard 7!
melodic hardcore?
[edit]I feel like Pennywise isn't a "punk" band in the vein of say the Ramones or Bad Religion, but is basically melodic hardcore - even though they don't sound like a lot of those bands.

But they aren't a straight ahead punk/rock band, are they?

Clarification
[edit]This article is very disjointed and feels like stuff was arbitrarily gutted out without any mind for how it affects statements later on in the article (that, or it was just written incomplete to begin with). For example, under "Early Years", it states, "Bradbury left the band and Thirsk returned to bass." -- what? Where is it mentioned prior to this line that Thirsk left in the first place and that Bradbury joined to replace him during this period? The article presumes we already know this information. It's also stated that they were originally known as "PMA", but then no mention is made in this section (where it'd be relevant) of when the transition to the name "Pennywise" was made. I don't know enough about the band to make any edits to this article, so hopefully these comments can help somebody who is more invested in the article to make some changes for clarity.
