03-12-2006 14:18 | 0 reaction(s) | add reply
The Orange County Supertones (a.k.a. The O.C. Supertones a.k.a. The Supertones) was a Christian ska band hailing from Orange County, California. The band was formerly signed to Tooth & Nail Records before becoming an independent band for its final tour. 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.

In the late 1990s The Supertones achieved wide popularity in the Christan Rock community. 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. Their next two albums, 1999's Chase the Sun and 2000's Loud and Clear, each charted on the Billboard 200 chart. 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.

Songs considered to be "Essential Supertones" include "Supertones Strike Back," "Little Man, "Unite," and "Superfly."
