Биография

Since 1992, P.O.D. have globally rallied audiences around a hypnotic hybrid of hard rock, hip-hop, reggae, and alternative punctuated by a message of unification and a powerful pledge to persevere. Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], Traa Daniels [bass], and Wuv Bernardo [drums]—rose up from a tough neighborhood just four exists north of the Mexican border into a three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum mainstay. Moving 10 million-plus records, selling out gigs on multiple continents, logging four Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, and collaborating with everyone from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inductee Carlos Santana to Katy Perry, the group continue to bring people together everywhere. After countless sweaty basement shows coast-to-coast, the grind continued on 1999’s platinum The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. It set the stage for Satellite in 2001. Not only did Satellite bow at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 and go triple-platinum, but it also yielded four signature singles “Alive,” “Youth of the Nation,” “Boom,” and “Satellite” and the band garnered three GRAMMY® nods. Three top 10 albums followed with the gold Payable on Death, Testify, and When Angels & Serpents Dance. 2012’s Murdered Love logged a Top 20 debut. After 2015’s conceptual The Awakening, Circles earmarked a new chapter in 2018. Billboard claimed, “P.O.D. takes a leap forward with ‘Circles’,” as “Listening For The Silence” and “Always Southern California” lit up DSPs.
