The song weʼre looking at is No Cigar - the first track from the album Pennybridge Pioneers (2000) which is probably their most popular album and the album that got them their first worldwide tour.
“Good Enough” is the first track from Less Than Jake’s “See The Light” released in November 2013. The song drives skank rhythms in the verses and full distorted choruses.

released in 2010.
“Alien” is a track off Pennywise’s “Straight Ahead” album that was released in 1999 on Epitaph Records. It was Pennywise’s first song that reached mainstream radio.
This song, written by The Offspring, was featured on the album “Ixnay on the Hombre” which came out in 1997. It is a fairly fast punk rock song typical of the 90’s punk rock bands.
