Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Pepper at the Fox Theatre tonight, January 31st, 2014.

Pepper just released their new self-titled album "Pepper" in September, Click here to check out their hit single, "F**k Around (All Night)".

Pepper's music is a melodic and accessible blend of alternative pop/rock, punk, and reggae. Formed in 1996, Pepper is hardly the only alt-rock combo inspired by Jamaican sounds. But while other punk-minded alt pop/rockers who emerged in the '90s were greatly influenced by either classic '60s ska or hardcore dancehall artists like Stitchie, Ninjaman, and Bounty Killer, Pepper usually gets more inspiration from '70s and early '80s reggae. Pepper's sound could be described as the Police meets Steel Pulse meets punk pop. It isn't hard to see the parallels between a Pepper song like "The Good Thing" and Police hits such as "Roxanne" and "Don't Stand So Close to Me," but while Sting and his colleagues sounded polis ed, Pepper tends to favor a rawer, more rugged approach.
