I've been struggling for a few days with this topic. I want to continue talking about the Christian Ska but the more I think about it the more I realize that the only ska band that stands the test of time is Five Iron Frenzy. Supertones will do in a pinch though. The way I see it there are four good Supertones songs: Adonai, Blood Washed Pilgrim, Unite, and So Great a Salvation.
Adonai is off of their first CD; Adventures of the O.C. Supertones. You gotta love that album art. The lyrics are solid and after listening to it for the first time in probably eight years it's still pretty good. Lots of horns in this song and kind of a wierd Beck shoutout in the second verse.
This was my favorite on their debut cd. I feel real stupid, I had no idea this was hymn until searching for the song on youtube. My wife is laughing at me now. My church didn't do hymns, we did what we called choruses. I like the Supertones version about a million times better.
My best friend and I would rock out in his Volkswagen GTI to this song back in the day. It's a great message about Church unity that really struck a chord with me.
This is a great acoustic song that I really related to. The line "and I asked God for a wife" really struck a chord with pre-married me. This was one of the first songs I figured out how to play on my guitar without looking it up on the internet. I love the lyrics. I played this many times as a prayer to God.
Tomorrow we'll wrap up the Christian Ska segment with a look back at The Insyderz.
