Pennywise: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Pennywise

Pennywise is a Hermosa Beach–born punk band that emerged in the late 1980s and helped codify a fast, melodic strain of skate punk and hardcore. In New York City, they’ve brought that direct attack to rooms like Irving Plaza, sharing bills with acts such as H2O, DFL, and The Dopamines. Their sets prioritize tempo, tight riffs, and shout-along choruses over stagecraft. The approach favors clarity and momentum, with little distance between band and crowd.
