Pepper, the Movement, New Beat Fund

When the mellow sounds of Hawaii meet California grooves, you get something that can only be described as Pepper. Since 1997, the three-piece alt-rock band has been crafting what they call Kona dub-rock, given that two of the now San Diego-based act’s members are originally from Hawaii. The group has toured extensively with similar groups like 311 and Sublime with Rome and done multiple stints with the Warped Tour. Pepper’s most recent LP, self-titled, arrived last year, marking a visible maturity in the group’s songwriting. Their recent tour aims to create an island vibe, transporting concertgoers to a place of relaxation and gentle breezes.
