Background:

Bad Neighborz originally included bassist Jay Crew and lead singer Erik Trogisch. In 2010, Crew left the band. When the remaining band members renamed their group Sunny Rude, ex-bassist Crew took back the name Bad Neighborz for his own band, now fronted by singer Caleb Wilborn (In-Repoze).

Based in OB, PB, Encinitas, and Oceanside, Bad Neighborz released a 5-song EP called Sunny D in 2011. They play rock reggae, world music, ska, roots, and music with Hawaiian influences.
