CHANNEL 104.9 NEW MUSIC ALERTS PENNYWISE - "REASON TO BELIEVE" Pennywise, who have defined Southern California Punk Rock music and who have sold over 3 million albums worldwide, have joined forces with MySpace Records to release their upcoming album, 'Reason to Believe.' The album, which will be released on March 25th, will also be released for free via MySpace as a high quality DRM-free 320 kbps MP3 download for two weeks. The first single, 'Something to Live For' was also available for download as the MySpace 'Single of the Week' and after many successful years on Epitaph Records, Pennywise thought it was time for a change so they signed with MySpace Records. So in a day and age when record sales are dismal and the major labels are trying hard to catch up with technology, Pennywise decided to release their album as a free download via MySpace for two weeks, beginning March 25th. But true fans of high quality CD's with graphics and artwork will also be pleased to know the band will also be releasing a CD with bonus tracks for their hard core fans as well. On the same day 'Reason to Believe' is released as a free digital download, Pennywise and MySpace Records will also release a high quality CD version of the album to retail outlets for sale, containing the same songs as the downloadable version. On April 8th, the band will also be releasing a limited edition double vinyl version with two bonus tracks as well. To download the free, 320 kbps version of 'Reason to Believe' fans simply have to add promotional partner Textango as a MySpace friend on their MySpace page (anyone can create an account for free) anytime before April 7th, 2008. Users who have added the profile before March 25th will all receive the album in their MySpace inbox on March 25th. Pennywise will be making a national television performance on Fuel TV's 'The Daily Habit' in early April and you can expect the band to announce a run tour dates in support of 'Reason to Believe' in the coming weeks.
