    ➡️ While I missed out on punk rock growing up, hearing Pennywise felt very familiar considering I DID grow up on a healthy diet of thrash metal. Hearing "Get A Life" instantly transported me back to high school when I was first discovering Metallica and Slayer with the most defining trait being their extremely "singable" riffs! They quickly become earworms that last for weeks. This song featured some pummeling licks from bassist Randy Bradbury, and it was almost a masterclass in how to "stand out" as a bass player in such a riff-oriented composition. I discuss his groove variations, his refreshingly-warm bass tone, some music theory behind the chord progressions, an analysis of his bass solo, and much more! 🤘🏼🤡🤘🏼

    I was a big Pennywise fan in high school. After graduating, I enlisted in the Air Force after being given less optimal options. Toward the end of basic training, we were allowed to shop at the commissary and I was excited to see a new Pennywise album. I bought it on cassette as I only had a Walkman and dug into it right away. It wasn't until Bro Hymn did the penny drop that I realized the bass player had died and what I was listening to was basically a funeral.

    "Bro Hym Tribute" from this album (actually a re-recording of an earlier version) was written by former bassist Jason Thirsk and the re-recording was done in his honor. It is an amazing singalong song that still serves as the closing number for almost all of their shows.

I dug through my old music library on a hard drive, and found an Untitled track that turned out to be "Honey Peeps" by ALL. I just sat in confusion for like 3 minutes because I thought it was a Less Than Jake track for 20 years now. I can sing every lyric to it, it's so funny. Highly considering just doing a bass cover of it on here, because I remember it being way too difficult for me trying to learn it at 15.

      ​@LowEndUniversity
      Pennywise is skate punk or melodic hardcore (the two often went hand in hand), but there is a thrash metal connection.
      Thrash metal was influenced by US Hardcore/Punk and UK D-Beat and Street Punk. Uk bands like a early Discharge, early the exloited, gbh or for the US styles early Bad Brains, misfits, minor threat, etc. Though there are lesser known way more extreme bands throughout the 80s, like United mutation, Cyanamid and Siege.
      Hardcore was also sometimes called "thrash" before thrash metal was, especially the faster or more extreme kind (now called fastcore/thrashcore).
      Anywho, these hardcore bands their interest in fast extreme sounds meant they quickly often went on to play "crossover thrash", hardcore related thrash metal. Inthe UK they instead mixed crust punk (anarcho punk+heavy metl) with hardcore, d-beat(came from anarcho punk), and thrash or death metal to give "stenchcore". The influence of theash metal on hardcore is quite immense in general. Take the New York Hardcore "Heavy Hardcore" sound focusing more on the heavier/slower extremer side of hardcore + the heavier slower parts of thrash metal.
      Early on, skate punk was a term used for a buncha skater culture hardcore and crossover bands like JFA or Suicidal Tendencies. That and the influence of melodic hardcore like bad religion and pop punkof the descendents (both starting as just hardcore) paved the way to 90s skate punk like NOFX or 88 fingers louie.
      Bands like Propagandhi mixed it with thrash metal more directly to give that technical skate punk sound. Thats how we got bands like A Wilhelm Scream.
      You can hear plenty of thrash metal influenced riffs in skate punk as a result, but we cant forget thrash metal was also inflhenced by hardcore ofc.
      When I listen to something like the song terrorize ny gang green(before they went crossover), to me that"thrash" feels like the punk equivelent to thrash metal. Then a band like cryptic slaughter feels like a mix of that punk thrash and thrash metal while leaning to hardcores mentality/approach.

    I feel like skate-punk and thrash are so much closer in musical style than a lot of people acknowledge. Skate-punk was basically a more polished version of hardcore, but came out not long after crossover-thrash was becoming popular - and crossover was kinda like a lot rougher, less polished thrash. So if you take a genre, un-polish it and then polish it again, its not too hard to the step and similarities between thrash and skate-punk, certainly moreso than many other metal genres.
    Adding to that, there are a good chunk of punk bands in the 00s who sound waaay more metal than punk. A Wilhelm Scream, Adrenalized, Belvedere, Almeida to name a few....
