Jim Lindberg

James William Lindberg (born July 26, 1965), better known as Jim Lindberg, is the singer-songwriter for the California punk band Pennywise. He formed it in 1988 with Fletcher Dragge (guitars), Jason Thirsk (bass, died in 1996) and Byron McMackin (drums), who were previously alums from two South Bay High Schools, Redondo Union High School and Mira Costa where Lindberg graduated in 1983.

Despite the criticism that Pennywise, and others signed to Epitaph Records, levelled at punk band The Offspring, Lindberg sang background vocals for songs on The Offspring releases Americana (1998) and Splinter (2003). Because of the close relationship that Pennywise and labelmates Bad Religion have, Lindberg sang back-up vocals for their first release on Atlantic Records, 1994's Stranger Than Fiction. Jim is currently heading up Vans Records a record label started by Vans shoes owner Steve Van Doren.

Pennywise are currently writing new songs for an album to be recorded in late 2006/early 2007 and released a year later.
