The Black Pacific is a music project that was started in 2010 by Jim Lindberg, the former vocalist of Pennywise, and two previously-unknown members Alan Vega (drums) and Davey Latter (bass).[1] They are signed to SideOneDummy Records and their self-titled debut album was released on September 14, 2010.[2]
In June 2010 (shortly after the completion of their first album), Jim announced that the Black Pacific had plans to release more music in the future. He also remarked that they had more songs written than could fit on their first album, and that (in June 2010) they had another batch of songs ready to record.[3]
On October 8, 2010, some line-up changes were announced by the band: Marc Orrell, formerly of celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys has joined the band as second guitarist, and Gavin Caswell has joined as bassist, replacing Davey Latter who had to return to his drumming duties with his other band Everest.[4][5][6]
As of February 2011, according to their website, The Black Pacific is already working on a second album.[7]
