Hideout<\/a>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/b><\/center>\n<small><i><b>Via Wikipedia &#038; Jesus Freak Hideout:<\/b><\/i> 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\u20132005 and reunited 2010\u20132017. Led by vocalist Matt &#8220;Mojo&#8221; 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 &#038; 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 &#8220;Supertones Strike Back,&#8221; &#8220;Adonai,&#8221; and &#8220;Little Man&#8221; 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.<\/small>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@OCSupertonesVEVO\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The O.C.
