About Time, Pennywise's third studio album, hit on June 13, 1995, through Epitaph, with Jerry Finn and Epitaph boss Brett Gurewitz producing. The Hermosa Beach crew of Jim Lindberg on lead vocals, Fletcher Dragge on guitar, Byron McMackin on drums and Jason Thirsk on bass came out swinging just as California punk was blowing up, and this was the record that finally got them on the Billboard 200, at number 96, and to number 55 in Australia.
It's skate punk at full sprint, melodic hardcore with fists in the air, and most of it circles one worry: time, and the fear of it slipping past, the urge to control it and the struggle to accept it. "Peaceful Day", "Perfect People", "Every Single Day" and "Same Old Story" became live staples. It was also Thirsk's last album; after he died by suicide in July 1996, the band chose to carry on, bringing in Randy Bradbury on bass.
