Writing and production
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2008) |
Writing for the first Pennywise album began around 1989/1990. The band recorded it in 1991 at
Hollywood, California. Epitaph owner/founder Brett Gurewitz
actually produced the album. However, constant disagreements with guitarist Fletcher over the album's production and his dislike of the sound of the album prompted him to have his name taken off the credits in the liner notes.
