Pepper is a ska band originally from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, but has since relocated to southern California. They play a mix of reggae, dub, and ska. After gathering a local following on the Big Island, Pepper gained the interest of Volcom Entertainment, who produced & distributed the band's first release, "Give'n It", combining dancehall, reggae, hip-hop, and pop. With the success of Give'N It, the band landed a spot on the 2001 Warped Tour.
