PENNYWISE will debut their new single “The Western World”–off their just-released ninth studio album REASON TO BELIEVE (MySpace Records)–as well as the fan favorite “Bro Hymn” on FUEL TV’s “The Daily Habit,” airing April 3 and 4. "The Daily Habit" airs weeknights at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT and re-airs that night at 12:00am ET/9:00 pm PT as well as the following day at 2:30pm ET/11:30am PT and 5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT. A bonus performance of the new track “One Reason” will also be available for viewing online via the FUEL TV website: http://www.fuel.tv.
“The Western World” is on track to be the biggest song of PENNYWISE’s career, climbing to #25 on the Alternative Mediabase Chart in just four weeks and #28 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Chart this week.
The group head out for shows in Japan and Australia April 5-16. The Hermosa Beach, CA band returns to the U.S. for a special April 19 performance at the Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach, CA, followed by their headlining tour launch May 6 in Salt Lake City, UT. Later this summer, fans can catch the band on a leg of the Vans Warped Tour (July 15-August 3).
Nearly 600,000 PENNYWISE fans worldwide have signed up to get their high-quality, DRM-free, MP3 full version of REASON TO BELIEVE from MySpace for free. This collaboration between PENNYWISE, their new label MySpace Records, MySpace.com and Textango (provider of creative solutions for distributing music via text messaging) sets a music industry precedent. Through April 6, fans can download the free, 320kbps version of the album, simply by adding Textango (myspace.com/textango) as a MySpace friend on their MySpace page (anyone can create a MySpace account for free). Users who add the profile between now and April 8 will receive the download soon after adding Textango as a friend.
