Background and Recording
Frontman Jim Lindberg rejoined Pennywise in 1992, after a temporary hiatus, releasing the second album Unknown Road in 1993. Although Unknown Road failed to chart in Billboard, the band enjoyed moderate success and gained supporting slots on national and world tours with bands such as The Offspring. Due to constant touring and appearances on snowboarding and surfing videos, the album sold around 200,000 copies. In the latter part of 1994, Pennywise began writing and recording their third album, entitled About Time. They entered Total Access Recording in Redondo Beach that December and recorded their new album over a three-month period. When they were in the midst of recording About Time, Pennywise was courted by several major labels, who approached the band following the unexpected multi-platinum breakthrough success of Green Day and The Offspring, but Pennywise rejected the idea of signing to a major label and decided to stay with Epitaph.
