Pepper
Pepper came out of Kailua, on the Big Island of Hawaii, where three friends started mixing reggae grooves with the punk and alternative rock they'd grown up on before relocating to Southern California. That blend — laid-back island rhythms with a rock edge, somewhere between Sublime and the Police — made them favourites on the reggae-rock circuit, and albums like Kona Town and No Shame kept them touring and recording for over two decades.

Kona Town (2002). It's the record that put them on the map, named for their home turf on the Big Island. "Give It Up" and "Stone Love" show the easy reggae sway, and "Too Much" brings the louder, punkier side.
