P.O.D. (Payable on Death) formed in 1992 in San Diego, California. The initial lineup included drummer Noah “Wuv” Bernardo, guitarist Marcos Curiel, and vocalist Paul Joshua “Sonny” Sandoval. In 1993, bassist Mark “Traa” Daniels joined, solidifying what would become their core lineup. The band’s name, an acronym for Payable on Death, reflects a Christian theological concept. Their early work, including the albums “Snuff the Punk” (1994) and “Brown” (1996), was released independently through Rescue Records, gradually building a dedicated local fanbase.
The band achieved mainstream success after signing with Atlantic Records in 1998. Their third studio album, “The Fundamental Elements of Southtown” (1999), went platinum and featured hit singles “Southtown” and “Rock the Party (Off the Hook).” This led to significant airplay on MTV and rock radio stations. Their follow-up album, “Satellite” (2001), released on September 11, became a global phenomenon, achieving triple platinum status and producing hit singles like “Alive,” “Youth of the Nation,” and “Boom.” These songs earned the band Grammy Award nominations for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2002 and 2003, and Best Metal Performance in 2003. In 2003, Marcos Curiel temporarily departed and was replaced by Jason Truby, during which time the band released “Payable on Death” (2003), which was certified Gold.
Curiel rejoined in 2006, and P.O.D. continued to release music, including “Testify” (2006) and “When Angels & Serpents Dance” (2008). Over the years, P.O.D. has maintained a consistent message of faith, hope, and resilience, appealing to both Christian and mainstream audiences. They have toured internationally and contributed to various motion picture soundtracks. Their career trajectory demonstrates a commitment to their musical style and spiritual message across two decades.
