Epitaph
Epitaph records isn't a Major label. Why is there a whole section whose title implies that Epitaph is one of the big four?Delirium of disorder 16:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

There are contradictory elements in this article. It says that the bass player guy accidentally commited suicide, but lower down it says he 'took his own life'
 * I think you'll find that "to take one's own life" is another way of saying "to commit suicide", whether or not it's accidental. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 11:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Break?
this paragraph is false:

As of May 2006, Pennywise is currently taking a break and will start/continue writing their ninth studio album, which is likely to be released in 2007. However, at the moment, no details about the album are known and plans to record it have been announced.

they are touring like crazy right now, check their website. thanks.

Wildcard release date
To this anonymous editor, 62.166.93.180, would you please provide a source for a 1992 release date for this EP? The EP is Pennywise's earliest works and it was recorded in 1988, sometime after the band formed. 1992 is the release date when it appeared on Wildcard/A Word From the Wise. As I said before, would you please provide a source for 1992 as the release date for the Wildcard EP? 69.12.166.40 22:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Band Name
Can anyone actually confirm that the band is named after that Stephen King novel? I heard the band was named Penny Wisdom originally, but decided to cut the name down. So I think that bit about where the name originated from is bull. Chewbacca1010 06:25, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

pennywisdom.com no longer
the domain has not been renewed...i'm curious if the band has finished.


 * No, I don't think they have finished. However, in a recent interview with gutiarist Fletcher Dragge he said the band has a new album coming out next year. Alex 01:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

The website has now been renewed. (If anyone was wondering).

I did some editing, just tightening, and accidently marked it minor. Apologies. BabuBhatt 00:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Album covers in Discography section
Album covers do not meet criteria 3a or 8 of the Non-free content criteria when used in a list or gallery and have been removed from the article. More information about the removal of album covers from discographies can be found at User:Durin/Fair use overuse explanation. ~ Bigr  Tex  22:46, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Love Line radio show
I would like to see the expanded version of the Pennywise wiki entry include some information on their relationship with this show and chronicle the incidents that occurred on air. I know they were banned for 3 years from the show when their bass player (might have been someone else) got drunk and vomited on Dr. Drew, then as soon as they were invited back the same band member again got drunk and threatened to "go too poo city" (basically, shit his pants then grab a handful and throw it on someone.) They were again banned from the show. I don't know the exact dates of this, but I feel it is worthy of being added to the article if someone has more information on it. (Edit, whoops, forgot to sign my name.) Machine Man 16:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

It's Fletcher Dragge. Both incidents are listed here. However, I didn't see any citations. --BrettxPW (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

MySpace/Ninth Record
If you read the linked article it doesnt say they signed with MySpace records but that the album will be available for free through a partnership with Myspace and textango. and that it will be sold in stores. it doesnt state that the album will be sold on epitaph, but on penynwises myspace page they still list Epitaph as there label and Myspace Records doesnt list them as a signed artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ucscottb4u (talk • contribs) 18:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

That's a relief. I'm fixing that. For a second I thought I'd have to stop listening to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.39.32.138 (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Calling Pennywise one of the "most successful independent punk act of all time"
Pennywise may have sold over 3 million records, but I kinda don't think that it's proper to call them the "most successful punk act of all time". Examples: their albums never went platinum or at least gold, they've never released more than a few hit singles, and back in 1994, they weren't even as successful as like The Offspring, Green Day and Rancid. Also, about the "along with..." paragraph, something's not accurate either, like for example: The Offspring left Epitaph, which is an independent record label, about 15 years ago. So, I think that part (the "along with..." paragraph) should be removed. 68.171.234.154 (talk) 01:58, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Jason Andrew Relva
I've heard Jason Andrew Relva (subject of J.A.R. by Green Day) was a drummer for the band but this article dosn't mention him. If he was with the band doesn't he deserve mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.201.126.9 (talk) 19:06, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Style and influences
Firstly I took the liberty to remove a spam of the discussion page.

Secondly I would like to say the second paragraph of "Style and influences" which consists out of an enumeration of bands needs better sources. The first series has "Pennywise at Allmusic.com" as source, but I can't find the enumeration on that page, I'm not removing it because it could be that I just didn't search good enough. If somebody knows where the enumeration is located on the webpage, please check if it explicitly says "the Misfits (with Glenn Danzig)" and not just "The Misfits".

The second series simply needs a source, but I can only find sources which have copied from Wiki which disqualifies it as a valid source.--Tomvasseur (talk) 19:14, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Since The Band is the only "Pennywise" with an article, can't we just but a disambig at the top of the page saying that Pennywise is also A Clown and A Psydoneum? Jasper420 19:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
