April 19, 2005 - Originally hailing from Kona, Hawaii, and formed in 1996, Pepper consists of Kaleo Wassman on vocals and guitar, Yesod Williams on drums, and Brett Bollinger on vocals and bass.

The trio has since relocated to Los Angles where they gigged relentlessly and eventually signed to independent label Volcom Entertainment. Their latest album, In With The Old, was released in March of 2004.

The band recently dropped their debut DVD, Pepper Live, on March 8th, 2005.

We recently caught up with the band's resident rhythm keeper, Yesod Williams, and pulled some answers to our inquisitive questions out of him.
