Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, United States (1996 – present)
Pepper is a reggae, ska band formed in 1996 originally from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, United States recently having moved to Southern California. They play a mix of reggae, dub, ska, and punk and are best known for their 2006 single “No Control” which was a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Pepper’s relocation was inspired by Volcom Entertainment’s excitement and interest in producing and distributing the band’s music. “Give ‘N It” is the band’s first official release combining dancehall, reggae, punk, hip-hop, and pop. It sparked some initial interest in Warped Tour promoter Kevin Lyman. With Kevin’s interest and Volcom’s involvement Pepper graced the premiere side stage at Warped Tour 2001.
Immediately following a whirlwind of shows, Pepper took to the studio with Steve Kravac (Less Than Jake, MXPX) to create ground swell album “Kona Town ”. Released in March of 2002, this album, with it’s “signature sound” sold over 45,000 copies. This sophomore release by Pepper not only charted for several weeks on the DMA chart in their home state of Hawaii, but also yielded the #1 hit “Give It Up” (aka Dirty Hot Sex) on Clear Channel affiliate Star 101.9 KUCD in June of 2003. KEDJ in Phoenix added the track in September of 2003 which instantly jumped into the TOP 10 “call-out” (or most requested), and still receives recurrent airplay.

Listening to No Shame now for the first time and I must say this band is pretty incredible! In my opinion, it's hard to find a good reggae/dub band. Most are trying to be something they're not. Pepper and Iration both are so genuine. It must be the aloha vibe running through them.
