Seriously, this isn't news.
I'm even probably going to attend this gig, but damn, this isn't newsworthy.

If you're going to do this you should do it when every other european festival releases a covered band, and that would just be a shitload of fuck so please, stop it.

so pennywise being added to this festival isn't news because...what?

givemeamuseumandillfillit (March 18, 2009)

Because when Groezrock or any other festival add a band, I don't see any story posted.
Do you really want punknews to post a story every time a single band is added to a festival?

Final lineup news stories are obvioiusly ok, but there's no need to be so ridiculously specific.

It's a punk news site, the stories are about punk news

It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography.

Ahh yes but its Pennywise, they deserve their own topic

That's an appropriate name for a show for them to be on. First time I tried to go see Bad Religion, they fucked it up by inciting a riot and got the show shut down. Fuckers.

I saw that DVD too

Have you guys ever noticed that all Pennywise songs kinda sound the same?! Weird, huh?!?

Bernit (March 18, 2009)

Great news but why are punknews and other sites still spreading the news about Alk3 on this festival?
W.C.R. and alk3 official sites ain't saying shit about them playing West coast riot this summer....

I love how Pennywise does something completely different and innovative with every new album.

FYI, I saw the Pennywise dude's book "Punk Rock Dad" in a junk store for $2.00.

Dude for two bucks you could've learned how to smash the system on the weekend while coaching soccer on Wednesdays.
