Milestones

In March 2008 MySpace Records released Pennywise's ninth album, Reason to Believe. A partnership with corporate sponsor Textango meant that MySpace Records provided fans with a free download of the album during a two-week period, in exchange for adding the sponsor as a friend on MySpace.com.[3]

MySpace Records, MySpace.com and Toyota of America launched "Rock The Space" an online based battle of the bands. The winner was Long Beach, CA based pop/rock band Call The Cops.
