About P.O.D.
Known for their infectious hybrid of punk, heavy metal, reggae, rap, and Latin music, San Diego four-piece P.O.D. are also born-again Christians whose faith takes a central place in their music. Emerging out of Southern California in the early '90s, P.O.D. (aka Payable on Death) rose to the top of the nu-metal/rap-rock scene with their third album and major-label debut, 1999's The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. The album spawned the hits "Southtown" and "Rock the Party (Off the Hook)," both of which gained heavy rotation on MTV and helped take the album platinum. The group's follow-up, 2001's Satellite, fared even better, landing at number six on the Billboard 200. It also generated several hits including "Alive" and "Youth of a Nation," both of which earned Grammy nominations. Subsequent albums like 2003's Payable on Death, 2006's Testify, 2008's When Angels and Serpents Dance, and 2015's The Awakening found P.O.D.'s sound maturing, just as they remained dedicated to their hardcore and faith-based roots.
Hailing from the San Diego neighborhood of San Ysidro or "Southtown," a multicultural, working-class area, P.O.D. initially began as a covers-oriented band (known at various times as Eschatos and Enoch), with guitarist Marcos Curiel and drummer Wuv Bernardo coming together to play songs by their favorite punk and metal bands, including Bad Brains, the Vandals, Slayer, and Metallica. The duo were also heavily influenced by their love of jazz, reggae, Latin, and hip-hop music, sounds that took on more prominence after the addition of Wuv's hip-hop MC cousin, Sonny Sandoval, in 1992. With the addition of Cleveland-born bassist Traa Daniels in 1993, P.O.D. were on the map.
Throughout the '90s, P.O.D. toured relentlessly, and sold more than 40,000 copies of their three homemade EPs -- Brown, Snuff the Punk, and P.O.D. Live -- on their own Rescue Records label. Atlantic Records took notice of the group's hard-working ethic and cross-pollinated sound, and signed them. In 1999, P.O.D. released their major-label debut, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. Singles "Southtown" and "Rock the Party (Off the Hook)" charted, helping push the album to platinum status. The group also earned top honors for Best Hard Rock or Metal Group, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year for "Rock the Party (Off the Hook)" at the 1999 San Diego Music Awards.
