“Operation Irie” by Pepper is the 2025 Daily Reggae “Reggae Rock Album of the Year”

The continued growth of reggae rock is a major story in its own and reggae rock legends Pepper delivered Daily Reggae’s “Regge Rock Album of the Year” with the release of “Operation Irie”. 

The genre-blending compilation reimagines punk classics through the lens of today’s reggae rock scene.

Inspired by the legendary Punk-O-Rama and Warped Tour compilations, the project honors the raw energy of 90s and 2000s punk while spotlighting the vibrant community of artists keeping that spirit alive, with a reggae twist.

The LP features a stacked lineup including Nathan Aurora, Ballyhoo!, Surfer Girl, The Expendables, Cydeways, and Kyle Smith.
