Most of the five members of rock-reggae band Tomorrows Bad Seeds grew up in the South Bay, where they soaked up the sounds of Sublime, Pennywise and Pepper.

They first formed, however, amid the surf-vibe sounds of Hermosa Beach, Calif., lending their sound a distinctive flow and jolt, as evidenced in their 2007 singles "Love Street," "Warrior Poet" and "Rhyme & Reason."

Thanks to a work ethic as energetic as their music, the band has opened for such luminaries as UB40, not to mention the bands Pepper and Pennywise they grew up with. Now, with Pacific Dub touring as an opening act, Tomorrows Bad Seeds are growing their own future as headliners.
