 (69 Customer Reviews)
With their eighth album, FROM THE ASHES, Pennywise continues down the same uncompromising and rebellious path that found them snubbing major labels back in the mid-1990s, when peers like Green Day, Offspring, and Bad Religion were hopping aboard the gravy train. With Byron McMackin and Randy Bradbury providing jackhammer rhythms and guitarist Fletcher Dragge firing off machine gun riffs, vocalist Jim Lindberg aims his crosshairs at plenty of political and social issues. "God Save the USA" finds Lindberg having a chat with the big guy in the sky and eviscerating a number of right-leaning demagogues including the CIA, NRA, and President Bush, while "Look Who You Are" hammers at apathy amidst the conservative atmosphere of 2003. Boredom ("Something to Change"), nostalgia ("Yesterdays"), and cynicism ("Judgement Day") are all topics addressed with the kind of focused, melodic fury that's manna to anyone who likes it hard, fast, and smart. Unbowed and opinionated, Pennywise uses FROM THE ASHES to affirm the concept that politically conscious punk remains alive and well. Fans curious to see how the band comes off on celluloid get the benefit of a bonus DVD that warns of "stunts that neither you nor your dumb buddies should attempt."
With the release of "From The Ashes," Pennywise continues their commitment to the ideals and the sound that made them so important to their fans. The CD includes 14 tracks and includes a bonus DVD!

Pennywise From The Ashes Songs From The Ashes Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews PUNK ROCK ANTHEMS ARE FOUND HERE!!!!!
As anyone who honestly know of Pennywise and has heard the awesome music, you KNOW that 'From the Ashes' here is certainly no different... and it has been said time and time again that this album is an all-political side of the band... not really people, no... 'From the Ashes' here is more of, just an aftermath of it's predecessor, "Land of the Free?" which was in turn THE political album right there from the guys. But this CD contains such songs that I find just way too darn catchy to be taken for granted, such songs are: "Something To Change" , "Waiting" , "Punch Drunk" , "Rise Up" and "Yesterdays". Rock On!!!!!

right in there with Land of the Free, this album really kicks ass. other kinds of music aren't really in there anymore, although green day and offspring were favorites 3-4 years ago, i think pennywise has outdistanced them now as well a bad religion. i seem to be having trouble findinig anybody else who can play in the same league as these guys.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Incredible album
"From the Ashes", Pennywise's eighth studio effort, is further proof that this californian quartet are in fact a punk dynasty. I recommend this and every Pennywise album to punk fans and those who simply appreciate good music everywere. "From the Ashes" blends the original punk sound with the strong opinionated political message that Pennywise has become known for. Some of the highlights of this album are "God Save the USA", "Waiting", "Look Who You Are", "Holiday in the Sun", and "Punch Drunk", however, all the songs on this album hold up to the high standard Pennywise has set for themselves.

From The Ashes album
 $9.65  
Pennywise themselves are calling Land of the Free "a wake-up call," aimed at the slumbering masses of America -- an attempt to shake people out of their lethargy, and prod them into thinking about the world. It's also a clarion call to action, made most forcibly on "Fuck Authority," via its demand that "it's time we had our say." However, given the opportunity, Pennywise isn't quite sure what it is they want to say. The songs throw out concerns and reactions, opinions and questions, ideas and concepts, unleashing their own mixed emotions along the way. The quartet's frustration with the current state of affairs singes the tracks, yet solutions and causes by and large evade them. At times it's evident the group feels like they're calling to the deaf while stumbling blindly around in the dark. "Is there anyone listening?" they inquire at one point, half in plea, half in defiance. Pennywise is high enough up in the punk hierarchy to know the answer is yes. Wrapping their message in a barrage of melodies and pummeling beats insures that at every show hundreds of kids will parrot back Land's lyrics, fists punching the air. But will these fans seriously ask themselves the same questions ...
| | Bouncing Souls Anchors Aweigh CD (2003)
From The Ashes CD music
$9.99 
In a contemporary landscape where what passes for "punk" is often little more than a watered-down, mega-mall version of the mighty music that once horrified authority figures the world over, it's nice to know that some bands can still rock with the same pre-irony, heart-on-the-sleeve sensibility that characterized the genre's greatest moments. On ANCHORS AWAY, the Bouncing Souls forego faddish Blink 182-esque smarminess in favor of a holy racket that sounds like the best mid-1980s CBGB's matinee that never was. In addition, the band has a keen sense of melody and guitar texture that perfectly frame the songs' '77 Clash-like shout-a-long choruses. Best of all, vocalist Pete Steinkopf spits out the lyrics with a desperate sincerity rarely heard since the heyday of Black Flag and Husker Du. Young bucks take note: Green Day may have lighted the mainstream ...
| | Bad Religion Empire Strikes First CD (2004)
From The Ashes music CDs
$11.59 
A sense of justice and moral outrage is frequently part of punk's ethos, and Bad Religion has willfully flown this flag since the early 1980s. The title of the band's 2004 release, THE EMPIRE STRIKES FIRST, and the songs "Let Them Eat War" and "Sinister Rouge" indicate that Bad Religion has a thing or two to say about United States foreign policy and the George W. Bush administration, among other things. Driving guitars, thundering bass, and jackhammer drums create a sonic assault that reinforces the group's ideological fervor and underscores the pitch of its rage.
Though Bad Religion borrows from the legacy of punk, its ...

| | Pennywise Unknown Road CD (1993) Remastered
From The Ashes album
$9.89
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 ...

Martin's relationship to the band gives him a unique perspective (not to mention access to a vast catalogue of multi-track tapes), which results in a shape-shifting overview that encompasses demo recordings, instrumental passages, and snippets from some of the best-loved Beatles tunes. Beatles fanatics will be in seventh heaven playing "name that reference" on this sonic carpet ride, but LOVE also provides something of an "overture" to the Beatles' oeuvre. The SPECIAL EDITION comes with a bonus audio-only DVD featuring the album in various stereo mixes.
Love is the title of the highly successful Cirque du Soleil show featuring the music of the Beatles, currently wowing audiences in Las Vegas. The music for the show, reworked by Sir George Martin and his son Giles, is a continuous soundscape of well-known songs by the Beatles augmented by additional instrumentation and vocals taken from their vast bank of original multi-track tapes. The result is an amazing set reinforcing the timeless quality of the group's recordings destined to open up a new legion of fans to the Beatles experience. The CD includes newly mixed and mastered music plus a 28 page booklet. The audio DVD contains 82 minutes of music both in 5.1 surround sound and
Given his unparalleled talent for innovative recording, mixing, and soundscaping, producer Sir George Martin has always been rightly referred to as "the fifth Beatle." Some 35 years after the Beatles disbanded, Martin was still shaping the group's music, as demonstrated by the 2006 release LOVE. The album (created to coincide with a Cirque du Soleil performance based on Beatles songs) amounts to a musical fantasia centered on the Beatles' output, with famous work from both early and late in the band's career collaged with great care and artistry.
