Give'n It

Pepper

Raw, high-velocity reggae rock from the Big Island. A gritty debut where sun-drenched dub basslines collide with aggressive skate-punk energy.

April 11, 2000 · Cornerstone R.A.S.

Give'n It is the sound of three guys from Hawaii landing on the mainland with something to prove. Unlike the polished, radio-ready sunshine of their later work, this debut is caked in the grime of dive bars and skate parks. It captures a specific moment in the early 2000s where the line between Sublime's dub-heavy influence and the frantic speed of SoCal punk was completely blurred. The production is thin and biting, giving the guitars a serrated edge that cuts through the thick, island-inspired basslines.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from a lazy dub bassline to a frantic punk chorus in 'Sitting on the Curb'.
The raw, unpolished vocal harmonies that feel more like a live shout-along than a studio take.
The way the drums kick into a double-time skate-punk beat mid-track, catching the listener off guard.
