Sound Check: Pennywise, the Godfather of Skate Punk

Pennywise invites us backstage of their Fear and Loathing show in Las Vegas on this episode of Monster Energy Sound Check. In this episode, guitarist and founder, Fletcher Dragge shares how the band went from skating backyard pools to becoming the pioneers of a sub-genre of punk rock. Their break with Rodney Mullen in a Plan B skate video was just the beginning of what became the defining sound of '90s skate culture. From Hermosa Beach to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, this is the story of how Pennywise helped create skate punk—and why their music continues to resonate with fans today.
