O.C. Supertones, The

REVENGE OF THE O.C. SUPERTONES


For much of its career, The O.C. Supertones has acted as the ska-inspired soundtrack to the purpose driven Christian life. Older songs, such as "Resolution" for instance, focused primarily on the personal spirituality of the believer. And while Revenge Of The O.C. Supertones includes God-to-man relational songs like "Where I Find You" and "Transmission," it also carries with it an overtly apocalyptic message as well. So in addition to learning how to apply Christian principles to daily life, The O.C. Supertones' members sound as if they've also been boning up on their end times theology. The plight of a fatherless girl causes vocalist Matt Morginsky to plead, "I hope the Prince Of Peace is coming soon" during "Prince Of Peace." This is followed by the slow reggae lament of "Shepherd Is The Lamb," where Morginsky's Elvis Costello-low vocal is at its world-weariest, offering a stark contrast to his usually exhilarated tone. Through this particular song, which fades out with a lovely churchy acoustic piano part, the listener can just feel the weight of the dying world being carried by Morginsky's voice. On "The Kingdom," Christ's eminent return is jubilantly celebrated, instead, with the words, "I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is on its way." With Revenge Of The O.C. Supertones, the end is obviously near (and dear) to this band's hearts. [BEC] DAN MACINTOSH

I really thought you hit the nail on the head with this review. The Supertones are one of my favorite bands! The new CD is great. I picked it up at a free concert they were putting on at a county fair in Northern California. The lead singer at the consert said the title of the new CD did not have a particular meaning. It was a great concert!

I love this album and concur with the sentiments that some of the other reviews were pretty lame. I wasn't sure if the Tones could improve upon Hi-Fi Revival but the proof is in the pudding and I think they did just that with this album. This album is so edifying, encouraging, and uplifting just as all the Tones stuff. I give it a 5 out of 5 rating. Go get this and you won't be disappointed. I guarantee it!
