Pissing off Scenesters Since 1995
Radio Bungalo is pleased to present an interview with Jim Lindberg, lead singer of Pennywise. Besides being the vocalist of one of the biggest bands since the mid-’90s punk explosion, Lindberg is an accomplished author, recently releasing his acclaimed memoir, “Punk Rock Dad.” The book sounds like it might be a silly coming of age story about a out of control punk, but in actuality it is a look at life on the road for one of the hardest working independent bands. This interview will be transcribed next week for those who would rather read than listen, but I encourage you to hear Lindberg talk about his daughters, writing, and life in Pennywise. Feel free to post a comment about your favorite Pennywise memory.

I realize I am late to this ballgame, but can’t resist the chance to say thanks to Jim for a great book. Gobbled it up in a record 3 days for me. (single mom..2 kids) It’s difficult to get out and do anything that doesn’t involve my children. This was the closest thing to adult time that I’ve had in a long time. Where I am from, there aren’t many people who listen to punk or would even care to know about Pennywise. The one time that I was able to catch them in our state, Jim had to explain to the crowd who they were. Soo Funny!! One of my best concert memories (and last) to date. Thanks again Jim. Your book had great timing in my life. Good luck with those girls…puberty is on the way dude!!!

Damn bro I cant believe that I can actually reach you. I just ordered Unknown Road. I was really in to Pennywise when I was a kid. I am 32 now and I was not supposed to live according to the DR,s after my motorcycle accident. My stubborn ass was determined to live and love my new wife. They said that if I did live I would be in a permanent vegetative state. Tester is my new theme song.
