Jim Lindberg, frontman of the rock band Pennywise releases new solo single “The palm of your hand”

Lindberg began writing his new release over 15 years ago, coming up with the chorus at the time but leaving the song unfished until 2020 when he returned to the studio to complete his solo record.

“I wanted to create two fictional characters who are struggling with shame, guilt and self-delusion to match the chorus lyric and so that’s how ‘Left-Handed Sal’ and ‘Walleyed Sally’ were created,”  Lindberg said about his new single, continuing by saying “It’s a song about two people who for one reason or another can’t seem to get out of their own way and end up inflicting all kinds of damage on the people around them. The only way they’ll get out from under all their problems is to ‘Let that ego drop’ and let their feelings show. The answer is right there in front of them, in ‘the palm of your hand’”

“The palm of your hand” is the first glimpse of Lindbergs upcoming solo project and is a track produced by Ted Hutt. It features David Hidalgo Jr. on drums, Joe Gittlemanon bass, and Marc Orrell on guitar.

The punk rock singer has been making music since the 1990s alongside his band Pennywise, with his musical influence coming from an array of genres from punk and folk music to old school country and Americana.

Lindbergs has been creating music for over 30 years, this longevity has led him to find inspiration anywhere from transcendental philosophers to real-life events.
