In With The Old, the new release from Warped Tour veterans, PEPPER (http://www.pepperlive.com) arrives in stores on Tuesday, March 30th.
The roots-based dub rock, sunny melodies and good-time vibes that the San Diego-by-way-of-Kona, Hawaii trio skillfully demonstrated on their Volcom Entertainment debut, Kona Town, are back in full effect; but with the help of producer/mixer Ron Saint Germain (311, Dredg, Living Colour, Sonic Youth, Tool, Bad Brains) PEPPER have stepped things up to the next level.
Rollingstone.com recently raved: "The Hawaiian pop- metal trio Pepper deliver funky breaks as chill and inviting as the waves and weather of their homeland. They sprinkle elements of ska, reggae and Eighties pop on their sophomore album....an energetic, sunshine-y style that will undoubtedly persuade college rock kids from both coasts to pull out their boards."
In With The Old was recorded at 311’s Hive Studios in North Hollywood, CA.
PEPPER launched their Spring tour with Slightly Stopid last week, with two sold-out shows at the Anaheim House of Blues. The band will also be playing day three of the Asbury Skate and Surf Festival on April 18th.
Pepper is: Yesod Williams (drums), Kaleo Wassman (guitar, vocals) and Bret Bolinger (bass, vocals).
