San Diego's punk legacy runs through the Casbah, a gritty Little Italy club that hosted Nirvana before they broke. SOMA and Brick by Brick book hardcore and metal, while the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach and the Soda Bar in Normal Heights keep indie and surf rock close to the water. Reggae and hip-hop thrive in Chicano Park and at the Music Box on the harbor. The border proximity, Pacific breeze, and military presence create a restless, sun-bleached, unmistakably Southern Californian sound.
