I kept hearing about these guys but never really listened to them. Then I saw them at The Van's Warped Tour and was not overly impressed. Later I heard a song, I really liked the song, like a whole lot. Later I found out it was Pennywise. Then I heard a couple more tracks of theirs. Now here I am a Pennywise fan. Sometimes I'm just behind the curve.
