Jim Lindberg broke a few South Bay hearts in mid-2009 when he exited Pennywise, only to raise some eyebrows less than a year later when he debuted the Black Pacific, the proto-punk outfit with a current lineup of Alan Vega, Gavin Caswell and ex-Dropkick Murphys guitarist Marc Orrell. The quartet’s self-titled debut, out in September on SideOneDummy, packs a familiar punch, proving that, at 45, Lindberg is still adept at raging against the system, as captured in the video from Steve Guerrero and John DeTemple.

The beneficiary is UCP Wheels for Humanity, an organization that repurposes old wheelchairs for use in underprivileged countries.
