Pennywise Streaming New Album 'Yesterdays' In Full
. One thing about Pennywise's new album Yesterdays: it's not actually new.The songs featured on the band's 11th studio album - their first with original frontman and Punk Rock Dad Jim Lindberg since he left the band in 2009 - have been lying around for 25 years. Most of these songs were written in the late '80s by original bassist Jason Thirsk but were never properly recorded. He died in 1996. "Jason was a truly gifted person," the band's current bassist, Randy Bradbury, told Radio.com over email. "The songs he wrote, that we included on Yesterdays, really show the raw talent Jason had for melody and lyrical expression�We always say Jason is still with us in spirit. I hope he would be proud of our efforts to capture the true essence of how these songs should be presented." When Thirsk wrote these songs, the guys were still playing backyard parties in their hometown of Hermosa Beach, Cali., trying to fit as many songs as they could into a set before the cops showed up and shut it down. Perhaps, that's why many of these tracks seem as if they're being played at 300 beats per minute. The guys had to make their point quick. But these songs don't sound dated. "After 25 years the songs still sound fresh," Bradbury said. "This album may even be more of a stretch than we would have taken if we were writing all brand new material."
