From the Ashes, Pennywise's seventh album, came out on Epitaph in 2003 after a long grind. Fletcher Dragge spent three months writing once the touring behind Land of the Free? wound down, the band piled up 15 demos, and between January and April 2003 they cut 14 songs, picked from more than 30, at Stall #2 in Redondo Beach, producing with Darian Rundall. The work paused when Dragge's father died, and the mix wasn't done until June.
The Hermosa Beach crew sound like they needed the release: Jim Lindberg barks, Dragge's guitars run at full throttle, and Randy Bradbury and Byron McMackin keep the floor shaking, fast, loud and pointed. AllMusic's Johnny Loftus heard it taking a page from NOFX's War on Errorism. "Yesterdays" is the one that stuck. The Fuse followed two years on, keeping up their album-every-other-year pace for Epitaph.
