If Pepper's not on your radar yet, they're about to be. That is, if you're into reggae and rock. We're assuming everyone is. They first landed on the mainland scene during the 2001 Warped Tour, after years of popularity on their home island of Kona, Hawaii. Pepper developed a huge fan base after touring with 311, Snoop, and Slightly Stoopid.

They've teamed up with Slightly Stoopid yet again for the Tailgate 2008 Summer Tour that just kicked off on August 1st. For tour dates, click here: www.pepperlive.com

Pepper's latest album, Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations, has become a permanent fixture on our Summer '08 iPod mix. It's the perfect soundtrack for summer living, which consists, or should consist of beach bathing, surfing, and a full cooler of cold beer at all times. If that doesn't sound appealing, we don't know what does! Check out Hollyscoop's fave track off Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations, Freeze.
