Nashville, TN…(09/06/02)…Multi-million-selling rock band The O.C. Supertones, is gearing up to rock the country with the much-anticipated release of their new album, Hi-Fi Revival, on October 22nd. The launch will take place in their southern California home, at the Tower Records in Long Beach. Los Angeles’ KROQ, one of the nation’s top rock stations, will be in attendance to help promote the event.

Brilliantly produced by experienced duo Brent Bourgeois (WOW Hits 2002, Chris Rodriguez) and Charlie Peacock (Audio Adrenaline, Switchfoot, Ravi Coltrane) Hi-Fi Revival delivers original and cutting edge music that presents an evolution of the band and their pop-rock sound. It’s being described as equal parts Elvis Costello, The Ramones, The Clash, and James Brown.

Band manager Steve Thomas says, “The Supertones are in good company with bands like No Doubt who have their roots in the Orange County ska movement but have moved on to make great pop records. Hi-Fi Revival has a fresh, relevant pop rock sound that proves this band has evolved.”

Producer Charlie Peacock says, “The Supertones have come up with some fresh musical flavors, all the while retaining their original SoCal coolness. I think this new CD is like a box of cinnamon Altoids--strictly irresistible.”

The success of The O.C. Supertones is well documented. They have always shined, consistently delivering their trademark high-energy shows and fresh melodic sounds. With an intensely loyal following, relentless touring and a more polished sound, Hi-Fi Revival is sure to sustain and secure the band’s position in the music industry.

"Hi-Fi Revival shows the Supertones stripping down their ska core rhythms to effectively incorporate horn heavy blasts amidst a balance of scorching alternative rockers and subdued moments of introspection,” says freelance writer and CCM Magazine contributor Andy Argyrakis.

The Supertones just wrapped production on the video for probable first rock single, “Super Fly” in Los Angeles. The video will be included on a promotional DVD set to come out later in the year.

Next spring, the band will head out on the See Spot Rock Tour with Relient K, Pillar, and John Reuben. The tour, running from February through May, will be a one-day rock event set to hit approximately 50 cities. More information on the tour will be announced soon.
