Save Ferris
1 upcoming show.
Save Ferris is a third‑wave ska band formed in 1995 in Orange County, California. The group blended ska, punk, and pop‑rock influences and gained national attention with their cover of Dexys Midnight Runners’ “Come on Eileen.” After a hiatus in the early 2000s, they returned with new material and continue to tour worldwide.
Reviews & press
- AllMusic ↗ — “With their major‑label debut, Save Ferris attempts to distinguish itself from the legions of late‑'90s ska‑punks by adding a touch of swing, lifted from the Squirrel Nut Zippers.”
- PopMatters ↗ — “Save Ferris' first release in 18 years is enjoyable but not exactly a triumphant return for the third wave ska act.”
- Punknews.org ↗ — “1999 marked the beginning of the quick extinction of the mainstream ska band, with saxophone players struggling to score a near‑by moog, or trombone players simply left practicing their best air guita”
