Pennywise will release their new album, Never Gonna Die, next month. In a press statement, singer Jim Lindberg says of the album: "The goal of the song is to try and get young people to finally say enough, and that the system isn’t working. It’s going to take a massive evolutionary shift in consciousness to change it, starting with the youth, because unless we do, we’ll just have more of the same carnage we’ve seen happening all over the world reincarnated with every new generation.”
