"Kona Dub-Rock." That's how Pepper describes their blend of reggae, alternative rock, dub, island rhythms, and punk rock energy. It's a sound that's taken the trio from the Big Island of Hawaii — where vocalist/guitarist Kaleo Wassman, vocalist/bassist Bret Bollinger, and drummer Yesod Williams held their first band practice as teenagers in the late 1990s — to the upper reaches of Billboard's Reggae Albums chart, where 2019's Local Motion peaked at Number 1.
Bumpin Uglies is an American band formed in 2008 in Annapolis, Maryland. They are known for a free-spirited, melody-driven blend of reggae, ska, and punk infused with folk storytelling, hip-hop elements, and infectious grooves. Frontman Brandon Hardesty describes their style as an organic evolution of rock music rather than a strict genre box, drawing early inspiration from acts like Sublime, Bad Religion, Reel Big Fish, The Beach Boys, and Jason Isbell.
