The three years leading up to Pennywise's 25th anniversary have been turbulent to say the least. Lead singer Jim Lindberg left the band unamicably and started another band, while the remnants of Pennywise found a replacement in Zoli Téglás from Ignite. In spite of having a respectable replacement, having someone other than Lindberg singing such personal, almost autobiographical songs like "Bro Hymn" was a bit awkward.

And when all hope was lost for a reunion to ever happen, Lindberg returned to the band for its silver anniversary but not without any resentment for the past few years. Sounding upbeat and excited about being back, Lindberg also sounded a bit dubious almost like a buddy who's working things out with his girlfriend after she cheated on him during a drunk night out.

Lindberg recently sat down with Punknews staff interviewer Gen Handley to talk about his thoughts on the Lindberg-less, Pennywise album, why he decided to come back and what the band is doing to move forward.
