Atlantic/ East West Records Announces Fourth Album Release From Pepper

NEW YORK (Atlantic/ East West Records) - Reggae infused Hawaiian rock trio Pepper is gearing up for the November 7th release of No Shame, their long-awaited Atlantic/East West Records debut. No Shame is a bold artistic leap forward for these Hawaiian Island boys,(Kaleo Wassman Guitarist/Vocalist, Bret Bollinger Bassist/Vocalist, Drummer/Vocalist Yesod Williams) creating an action packed 18-track ride which was recorded over the better part of a year in a variety of SoCal studios. The multi-talented members of Pepper imbue their fourth studio release with keen, toe-tapping, beach rock influenced with melodic reggae beats.

"We wanted to make a record that perfectly catches the Pepper vibe and I think we've done just that," says Yesod Williams. The threesome credits the diverse stable of producers they recruited for much of the success of the project, including Nick Hexum of 311, No Doubt bass player Tony Kanal and former Butthole Surfer turned producer Paul Leary (Meat Puppets, Supersuckers). "The producers' styles are really quite difference from each other, but the various approaches really worked great for us" says Bret Bollinger.

Pepper made a big splash at Alternative radio in 2005 with their hit "Give It Up" and is destined to turn heads and hips with "No Control," the first single off No Shame. "I think Pepper has hit their stride and really come into their own for the first time," says Hexum. "They can't really be compared to any other bands right now; they've really found their own sound."

This Fall will provide more opportunities to catch Pepper's compelling and energetic live show. Pepper has appeared with 311, The Wailers, Slightly Stoopid and Snoop Dogg. "On This record, we've really succeeded in bringing the positive elements of our live show into the studio." says Yesod.
