The O.C. Supertones
Encyclopedia
The Orange County Supertones (a.k.a. The O.C. Supertones a.k.a. The Supertones) is a Christian ska
band hailing from Orange County, California
. The band was signed to Tooth & Nail Records
before becoming an independent band for its final tour. The OC Supertones were one of the first widely successful Christian ska bands.
, Jason Carson and Tony Terusa while in Junior High School, the band played a mix of many styles including punk, rap, metal, disco
, and funk. In 1995 they formed as The Orange County Supertones and settled on a ska
based sound, similar to Operation Ivy
or Mike Park
's Skankin' Pickle
. Although drummer Jason Carson had known Tooth & Nail founder Brandon Ebel for years, the label was reluctant to sign them. As characterized by Ebel: "The Supertones were good, but Saved was not good. I had years of Saved in my head."
The Supertones' debut release, Adventures of the O.C. Supertones
, received a 1997 Dove nomination for the "Alternate / Modern Rock" category. Their second album, 1997's release Supertones Strike Back
, was a surprise smash hit, peaking on both Billboard
's Heatseekers and Top Christian Albums charts at #3 and #2 respectively. In the fall of 1997 the Supertones headlined a tour with Ghoti Hook
and Stavesacre
, and the next spring opened for Audio Adrenaline
, with whom they recorded a duet, "Blitz," on the Audio Adrenaline album Some Kind of Zombie, also in 1997.
In 1999 the Supertones played for the papal visit to St. Louis
by Pope John Paul II
. That fall they embarked on the all-Christian-ska "Skamania" tour with The Insyderz
and Five Iron Frenzy
.
Beginning with a more traditional ska sound, The Supertones moved next to a harder rock sound, which eventually changed again with more of a pop-rock influence. The band explained the musical evolution to CCM: "pop culture has the attention span
of a flea
... ska's time in the white-hot spotlight has come and gone." When saxophonist Dave Chevalier joined The Dingees
in 1998, the band made the decision not to replace his poisition. Rap and R&B influences also became more prevalent in their sound, which remained "about 40 percent reminiscent of the older stuff." Their next two albums, 1999's Chase the Sun and 2000's Loud and Clear, each charted on the Billboard 200
chart.
Lyrically, they were known as having a straightforward approach to songwriting, with a minimal use of metaphor. Even so, their songs were cited as being thought-provoking and containing deep theology. One of the major focuses for the band was evangelism
; they included segments of preaching in each performance. Originally these were fronted by drummer Jason Carson, who had been active in youth ministry
before the Supertones found their break. In 2000 when he went back into ministry full time the band split the responsibilities among remaining members. Adam Ferry, formerly of Plankeye
, took Carson's spot on drums.
They continued to release albums until 2005, when they announced plans to break up. The band released Unite
, a greatest hits compilation, and played their last show at Biola University
in La Mirada, California
on October 7, 2005. Former members Jason Carson, Darren Mettler and Tony Terusa re-joined the band on stage for three songs. Kevin "Slim" Chen was on hand but did not play with the band. The Supertones played for 2 hours at their final show, playing close to 30 songs.
