Tired of all that angst & roll that's been shoved upon you in the name of alternative music? Sick of all those dirges galore? Want to get happy feet? Need to dance? Then look no further than ska band The Supertones, just a bunch of God-loving guys from SoCal. You'll find traces of the original ska movement, such as the Skatalites from Jamaica in the '60s, plus a little of '80s bands Madness and The Specials, all mixed with a little Beastie Boys and a touch of punk. The songs move at a good clip, with riffing saxophone, chugging guitars, and rifling snare drums. The singing is sincere and positive, and the lyrics encourage the Christian listener. If, as some claim, The Supertones are the first Christian ska band, then the Christian ska movement (if, of course, there even is a Christian ska movement) is off to a skanking start.
