Although Christian music artists have traditionally had a reputation of being a couple years behind their mainstream counterparts, that has all began to change with the rise in popularity of ska. Christian ska bands such as Five Iron Frenzy and the Insyderz emerged at nearly the same time as ska was beginning to receive recognition in the secular market. Not only were these Christian bands out there, but they were just as good as anyone secular--such as the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones, Save Ferris, or Reel Big Fish. Then there's The Supertones. They're not as good. They're way better. So how did this all get started? In the early 90's a band was formed called "Saved". When Jason Carson (drums) and Matt Morginsky (vocals) started the band, they tried many styles More... (Submit New The O.C. Supertones Lyrics) (Submit New The O.C. Supertones Lyrics) Review about The O.C. Supertones incredible song/s!!! | Reviewer: Lylan Dosasso ------ About the song Return Of The Revolution performed by The O.C. Supertones if anybody ever actually reads this, i will be very thankful. anyways, the supertones have been my favorite band for about 4 years now, and i'm thirteen. until i turned 12 or so i didn't really care about the lyrics of their songs, just the cool beats, and AWESOME horns. but then i started really paying attention to their lyrics, and started looking some of them up on line, and now these songs mean much more to me than just cool horns or beats. i'll addmit that often times i find myself being sucked in to secular music, but i always find my way back to the tones. i was part of a forum on a secular bands website, and started a few threads about the supertones. i couldn't bealieve the things people were saying about them. everyone said that they sucked and that they were to preachy, and that made me realize a few things. 1, is the fact that they aren't affraid to have a really sweet message about the church, or about God, in every song. this made, (and still makes...) me wan't to let my Christian light shine all the time, and not be affriad of anything. also i realized that i would vary much rather hang out with Christian freinds that also injoy the great message in all their songs, than a non Christian friend who hates the tones. every time i hear this song it makes me want to make my whole church listen to it. i don;t go to a bad church, but i really think that in this song mojo really nails the piont that there is alot wrong with the church today. i appreciate everybody who likes the tones, and continues to listen to them. i lost my ipod, but i listen to there cd's everyday!!!! i love you O.C. SUPERTONES!!!! YOU GUYS WERE EXACTLY WHAT CHRISTIAN MUSIC NEEDED, AND STILL NEEDS TODAY!!! What A Song | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Return Of The Revolution performed by The O.C. Supertones It's not often that there is a catchy song like this. Nor is it often that a song like this would come from a Christian band. The O.C. Supertones break from the stereotypical ballad of Christianity and get up-beat and energetic. I believe this is one of the BEST Christian songs out there, catchy tune, great message, something that you will listen to again and again. It proves that the O.C. Supertones are up to the job of creating good songs, and they definitely have a few great ones. The coolest Christian song I've ever heard | Reviewer: Ryan Crossley ------ About the song Return Of The Revolution performed by The O.C. Supertones I am only 14 but I've been a Christian for a few years now. I got interested in music a couple of years ago and found out about some catchy Christian bands as I went along listening to music. One of my favorites was a parody band called ApologetiX. I now have tons of their songs but recently started looking for more. And that resulted in finding out about Christian and secular bands. But sometime last year I found out about The O.C. Supertones from a friend who lent me one of his cd's(I'd actually heard about them previously but hadn't heard any of their songs) but I didn't listen to it much. Then just quite recently as I was just listening to the songs in their album "Unite" to see what one's I could find that sounded cool, I came across Return of the Revolution. And I instantly got hooked on it. The first time I heard it, it reminded me of a song I'd heard on a video game, so I just listened on and I just wanted to hear it over and over again. And I still do to this day. It's such a great song: it's cool, catchy, and Christian. I now have both the studio version and the live version. On the side, I'm a big daydreamer(which has it's advantages and disadvantages) so I would listen to it and dream away, almost totally oblivous to what was going on around me(which might not sound so good for some of you), but I think it's great. Simply awesome is this song and I think everyone(especially any decent Christian) should hear it. It's also totally(and I mean TOTALLY) changed my opinions about The O.C. Supertones and I now frequently listen to several more of their songs. It changed me from thinking of them as a boring Christian band with a straight message(yes, it's sad but true and I'm sorry but now that's a thing of the past),to nearly the greatest Christian band I've ever heard! They write great songs with the best overall message anyone could ever bring to the world, and this one is one I would certainly like to share with all my friends and the world. A superb song and they have done a superb job of writing it. If I could ever thank them for writing it, I would. God bless you, O.C. Supertones. May his grace and his blessing follow you wherever you go. Always There | Reviewer: Aliel ------ About the song Old Friend performed by The O.C. Supertones I'm just listening to The O.C. Supertones while I study Calculus 1, got a test on friday! But, I've been going through a situation that has made me question my faith, the distance I let between God and me, and it just makes me sad. It's hard to just say no to those things that keep me away, but songs like this one help to give me courage to look away and head into God's arms. I love my God, but it's hard being a college student. I just pray I get the strength to break away. THNX O.C.!!! Keep on producing! AND COME BACK TO PUERTO RICO AGAIN!!! A truly Christian band | Reviewer: David Mitchell ------ About artist/band The O.C. Supertones I'm a Christian and I have a pet peeve about "Christian" music. Yes, I know this doesn't sound very Christian, i.e. positive and cheery - having a pet peeve, let alone one about 'our own' music - but I believe mine is a very good one. And here it is: Why do so many Christian artists call themselves "Christian" when most of the time I can't tell whether they're singing about their boyfriend/girlfriend or about Jesus? Frankly, I get confused when these artists spend an entire album singing about being so in love with "you" or "him" - please, just say "Jesus" if you aren't referring to your boyfriend/girlfriend! It's frankly a sad attempt by these artists to win secular acceptance; usually it doesn't work, and they lose the respect of most Christians, especially ones like me who just want a bold and clear message about Jesus. When some of these artists eventually sell-out to the secular market, I'm not surprised because they've been afraid to boldly proclaim the name of the One they are claiming to represent on this earth. Not so with The O.C. Supertones! From the outset, they have proclaimed a totally bold and unashamed message about the One - Jesus - who has transformed their lives. Not only do their lyrics pack an evangelical punch, but the quality, integrity, and professionalism of their music does as well. The Supertones prove that Christian music can be ‘cool’ to Christians and non-Christians alike even without watered-down lyrics. Concerning their music, many Christians are still of the mindset that if Christian music is too hard-core, i.e. secular sounding, the lyrics naturally follow suit. What continues to amaze me about the Supertones is how they play some of the best music I have ever heard - Christian and non - and combine it with some of the best lyrics I have ever heard - Christian and non. (I should note that for the first 20+ years of my life I indulged in the best that secular music had to offer, and the Supertones are musically superior to most secular bands, past and present). As for their lyrics, do they just sing about the flowery aspects of the Christian life? In some cases, yes, and rightly so, because there’s no life more fulfilling than the Christian life. But in most cases they're challenging the apathy and hypocrisy that characterize too many Christians in this modern age. However, they go beyond this by also offering encouragement to not be afraid and to make a clear decision to represent and serve Jesus. If I had to go to war in the name of Jesus, I'd want the Supertones to be played on the front line! If most "Christian" bands, and even most Christians, were as bold and unafraid as The O.C. Supertones are about proclaiming the love of Jesus and how He alone radically transforms lives, then our continent - perhaps even our world - would be a radically better place. So if you’re a non-Christian who isn’t concerned about lyrics and just wants to get your socks rocked-off, I can suggest few bands better than the Supertones. If you’re a Christian who is concerned about lyrics, I likewise suggest the Supertones – any of their albums – but be prepared for the one-two punch of challenging lyrics firmly backed up by some of the most powerful music this side of Heaven!
