These guys are pretty good, even though they sound like a sublime rip off.

Point and Shoot is a good amusing song. I advise everyone to check it out.

Wow.

It's strange seeing this band's name on the MacNN boards from a guy in Tennessee. These guys are from my home state of Hawaii and I love their refreshing ska sound and island inspired lyrics. I've been listening to them since 2002 and I'm glad they're getting play here on the mainland.

Kona Town is still my favorite album. Oldie but goodie.

well i doubt they played here in Nashville, I have been listening to them on Sirius since last year. I never listen to the radio here or any corporate radio.

Hell yeah!!! I've been to a few Pepper shows, they were opening for Slightly Stoopid (also very good). Yeah, both bands sound like Sublime, I wouldn't call it a rip off (Sublime discovered and promoted Slightly Stooopid back in the day) but they all just play great music!

I saw Slightly Stoopid in concert here in Guam a couple of years ago. Pepper and Slightly Stoopid both get radio time here.

Why won't you have some dirty hot sex with me? It ain't like I'm asking you to give it up for free.

seen them as part of a concert (and taken tons of pix of them). bit generic for my taste, but not too bad. could have done without their "hey ladies, show us your breasts!" moment though.

Marky got with Sharon
And Sharon got Cherese
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look
Through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Pauly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

*shrug* guess that's when you know you've made it to the outer fringe of the disposable income hipsters.
