Formed in 1995, Save Ferris remains one of the seminal and most beloved bands from the third wave of ska. The group’s Orange County home was fertile ground for a thriving music scene, with punk, rock, and ska emerging from the region. Save Ferris blended the best elements of these sounds to help bring the region’s sound to the world. The group’s humble beginnings saw them play house parties and local venues, powered by Monique Powell’s high-octane vocals. Save Ferris’ live show instantly became a hit. Known for their cover of "Come On Eileen," their hit single "The World Is New," and a feature in the motion picture "10 Things I Hate About You"- Save Ferris was atop of the world.

After a hiatus that ran from 2003 to 2013, and some "legal hoopla": Powell and her bandmates went into the studio to record a new EP in 2016. The end result was an upbeat collection called: "Checkered Past."
Following the release, Save Ferris played the entire 2017 Warped Tour on the main stage, headlined shows, and played festivals across the world. The future is as bright as it has been for Save Ferris in a long time. Powell scrapped a record she wrote prior to the pandemic and is currently at work on the first new Save Ferris album in nearly two decades.

A lot of amazing shows in 2024: Powell has proven why she is the centerpiece of the action. Her dazzling on- stage presence continues to wow audiences and the band’s energy is infectious. Save Ferris are out to prove that they’re no nostalgia act, with their best days still ahead of them.
