Contributed by aubin. Posted by chris on Sunday, February 11, 2007 at 12:00 PM (EST)

Volcom act Pepper has announced plans tol release To Da Max, a collection of b-sides, unreleased demos and live performances recorded between 1999 and 2004. Included in this 20 track collection are rare recordings like "The Arena", a cover of "Armagideon Time" (by Willie Williams, later covered by the Clash), live acoustic performances and tracks from their very first recording session. The band reviewed material from over 400 recordings, eventually narrowing the track listing down to the 20 songs.

To Da Max is scheduled to be released on March 20.

Despite the fact that I'm the only person who posts on punknews that actually likes this band, I'd have to say that this seems a bit unnecessary!

no man, i enjoy about 75% of their songs, but yes, this is not needed.

Yet you can listen to the whiny crap that saves the day produces?

AndreTheGiant (February 11, 2007)

one man's whiny crap is another man's gold. a second-rate sublime rip-off band, however, is a second-rate sublime rip-off band any way you slice it.

Someone (February 11, 2007)

And considering that Sublime is fucking lame, that means a second rate Sublime is awful.

notfeelingcreative (February 12, 2007)

I actually like Pepper but don't really like sublime. I like a "pool shark" and a few songs off "40 oz. to freedom" but for the most part I think sublime is incredibly mediocre.

I have to go to their concert to see the Mad Caddies... bleh

You don't have to watch them, though.

spalmer (February 11, 2007)

true, but like going to an Anti-Flag show to see Big D, their fans will be everywhere.

Are there Pepper fans?

Decent band, not the greatest by any means, but they don't deserve all the hate they get.

OzmanX (February 11, 2007)

Yes, yes they do deserve the hate they get.

ChokingVictim (February 11, 2007)

I don't know what material you are basing that off of, but the CD I have is pretty good.

OzmanX (February 11, 2007)

I'm basing it off of their album with that one crap single "Give it Up"

ChokingVictim (February 11, 2007)

Alright, that's not the one I have.

Bakla (February 11, 2007)

red_eyed420 (February 12, 2007)

feeeding5000 (February 11, 2007)

Why would anyone like this band? They sound like Sublime, and the only people who genuinely liked Sublime all died of heroin overdoses. Or they just grew the fuck up, and stopped listening to kid's music. And, yes, I know songs about drug addiction and rape aren't for kids, but, dammit, kids don't recognize that kinda stuff. They just laugh at the word, "ass".

You're such a fag.

Someone (February 11, 2007)

Yeah, that was a faggy comment, but I agree with his main point. Which is that Sublime is crap.

Someone (February 11, 2007)

sublime > crass

Someone (February 11, 2007)

Sublime will always and forever be better than Crass. Always.

Someone (February 11, 2007)

I pity you so much. You could be the richest, happiest, most at peace person on the planet, but I still pity you, because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Someone (February 12, 2007)

No, I assure you I know exactly what I'm talking about. Crass is complete garbage. At least Sublime is listenable.

notfeelingcreative (February 11, 2007)

No offense, because I actually like most of the stuff you listen to, but I guarantee you there are many more adults who listen to sublime and pepper than there are adults who like Crass!

ChokingVictim (February 11, 2007)

I would rather have Sublime rip-offs than Blink182 rip-offs.

MATEO (February 11, 2007)

This release must've been inspired by "Everything Under the Sun"...

ashtraymonument (February 11, 2007)

i don't care what anyone says, i still like these guys alot

Someone (February 12, 2007)

this is music to hang out with your friends, too much hate on this website. No wonder i stopped posting here.
