The O.C. Supertones (a.k.a. The Supertones) were a Christian Third-wave ska band hailing from Orange County, California. The band was formerly signed to BEC Recordings before becoming an independent band for its final tour. Beginning with a more traditional ska sound, the Supertones moved next to a harder rock sound, which eventually changed again with more of a pop-rock influence. By the early 2000's, the Supertones were one of the major bands in CCM. They headlined with The Newsboys and Audio Adrenaline on the first Festival Con Dios.

One thing that made the Supertones stand out in CCM was their embrace of secular music, even to the point of having the introductions of some songs by Metallica be put in their own songs. Examples included Metallica's cover of "Am I Evil?" in "Adonai", "Creeping Death" in their song "Supertones Strike Back", and "Damage, Inc" as the intro to "Fade Away".
