You may have some questions about this free album, the typical why and how. Here is an FAQ to help you out.
HOW
It's really easy.
Step 1: Add Textango as a friend.
Step 2: Check your MySpace on March 25, 2008. You will get a bulletin and/or message with a link to download the album for free.
That's it. No bullsh*t, no emails, and no unnecessary messages. So if you haven't already, click here to add Textango. This is the only place where you will get the album.
WHY
"We know that this will piss off a lot of people in the music industry, and what do we say to that? 'Who cares?' We've been pissing people off for 18 years. Why stop now? We have been telling people to get our records by any mean necessary for 17 years. As a band, we decided that it was time to come to terms with the facts. There are a lot of people out there who want their music for free, so we got proactive and with the help of MySpace Records and Textango we found a way to make it happen...we couldn't be more stoked…PENNYWISE FREE TO THE PEOPLE."
– FLETCHER DRAGGE
"I think for a band like ours that has put out eight albums already, it's a great way to give back to our fans for their support over the years. We can also potentially expose our music and message to people around the world who may have never had the opportunity to hear it because they either couldn't afford to buy a CD or they didn't have access to music outlets or good distribution. It's a way for us to instantly expand our music into places it's never been before. Maybe there's someone in Sri Lanka that is a huge Pennywise fan but just doesn't know it yet."
– JIM LINDBERG
WHAT does Textango have to do with this?
Textango is responsible for making this album FREE to the people. They are paying for it so you don't have to.
WHAT is the album titled?
Reason to Believe
WHAT comes with the download?
The entire album comes as super high quality, 320kbps MP3's that are DRM-free (in other words you can do whatever the heck you want with them), along with amazing original artwork from Grammy Award-winning designer Don Clark.
WILL it be free forever?
Only for a period of two weeks.
CAN I get the album for free even if I don't live in the US?
Yes! This full album download is available worldwide!
WILL there be a physical album available as well?
Yes.
Adds FLETCHER: "All on the same day—March 25—you will be able to go out and buy our new record, download it and then go buy it, or just download it for free and sit back and check it out. How cool is that…an option for all ways of thinking?"
On the same day, PENNYWISE and MySpace Records will also release a CD version of Reason to Believe to retail outlets for sale, with the CD containing the same songs as the downloadable version. There will also be a vinyl version available a few weeks later that might have some extra goodies on it ?
WHAT else can you tell me about the album?
Longtime PENNYWISE fan and seasoned producer Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Motorhead, Sum 41) has signed on to produce and mix Reason to Believe.
Jim says that the new album "will be a combination of what are fans expect from us with a few curve balls thrown in here and there. We have to be happy with what we're doing before anyone else, so it will all be about trying to challenge ourselves."
