These bands include The O.C. Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy. Five Iron Frenzy broke up at the end of 2003, as did the Supertones in October 2005.

The band received recognition through their album Skalleluia and their rendition of Rich Mullins' song "Awesome God" for which the band won a Dove Award. Their manner of playing worship songs is still relatively unique.
