Via Wikipedia & Jesus Freak Hideout: The O.C. Supertones (also known as The Orange County Supertones or simply The Supertones) were a pioneering Christian ska band from Orange County, California, active from 1995–2005 and reunited 2010–2017. Led by vocalist Matt “Mojo” Morginsky, the band blended high-energy ska, punk, and rock with bold faith messages, becoming one of the first widely successful acts in the Christian ska scene. Signed initially to Tooth & Nail/BEC Recordings, they released classics like *Adventures of the O.C. Supertones* (1996), *Supertones Strike Back* (1997), and later independent projects including *Live! Vol 2*. Hits such as “Supertones Strike Back,” “Adonai,” and “Little Man” brought fun, danceable worship to youth groups and festivals, spreading the Gospel through upbeat rhythms and joyful lyrics. The band disbanded in 2017 after a final celebratory tour.

Supertones strike back
Just like Leia’s Father
You hit, we hit back harder
Like Huss and Stephen, I am not afraid to be a Martyr
California sun and sky
Slip inside a suit and tie
Chevy rolls up to the house with everybody outside
Gonna get down like we did the day before
50 more people be waitin’ at the door
Team against team, let’s even the score
If there’s 50 people outside
We got room for 50 more!
And we’re movin’ all smooth and when we get groovin’
We’re fresh like salsa and we’re fat like juben
You’re cranium’s cracked from my Shaolin attack
Protect your neck, Supertones strike back!

We want this whole band to be a big love letter
So we play the ska and it makes you feel better
God’s got love for us, so we got love for you
It’s your life, so what you wanna do?

So come on put a glide in your stride, and a dip in your hip
Best back the heck up, cuz’ hip-hop rolls from my lips
I spit when I rap, saliva flies when I sing
God gives me gifts, just look at my ring
Look less at me and look more to Christ
His grace has saved me and His grace will suffice us
So I jump for Jesus, it’s Jesus who frees us
Let’s get dumb like Beavis, I don’t care who sees us
When we hop to hip-hop
John Bell gets ill props
You know he can rock socks
Give out love from his soapbox
With hip-hop nonstop, hippidie, hippidie, hop
First I can rock them socks, then I can knock your block
You can’t stop this, you can’t clock this
You can’t dis this, so please don’t miss this
A van and a roadmap, keep my life in my backpack
Comin’ through your town, Supertones strike back
