OC Supertones, “On the Downbeat”

OMG! The OC Supertones are back! On the Downbeat is the first recorded single from the uber-popular Christian ska band in over eight years, and it’s available for free download! More information here on Kickstarter, as the band tries to raise US$30,000 to record its first album in a loooooong time. You see, the members of the OC Supertones went their own ways a few years back – four of them are full-time pastors now – but we all know you can take the musician out of ska but you can’t take the ska out of the musician, and it was only a matter of time before we’d be getting some brand-new OC Supertones material, and here we are!

If you’re going to download, please leave the boys a tip (US$1.49 is the iTunes rate; can you be a little more generous?), and do join them in prayer as they seek to raise the cash they need to raise. I want a brand new skankin’ OC Supertones album, and if On the Downbeat is any indication, this may be the shot in the arm that Christian AC needs to get back on track!

ON THE DOWNBEAT Lyrics
The O.C. Supertones

Ya say you got your problems
Well, I got an idea
God is on your side
So ya bring Him in here
And let love drive out your fear

Front door, kick it in!
Let ’em know it’s dancin’ time!
Back door, beat it down!
We don’t wanna wait in line
No rows, no seats, everybody on your feet, and smash it up!
Smash it up! Meet me at the downbeat!

We’re on the downbeat
We’re on the downbeat
We’re on the downbeat
Get on the downbeat

The sound relieves stress, so the beat is medical
Our purpose is to worship, so the beat is spiritual
Tell me, do you believe in miracles?
We’re boppin’ like a blitzkrieg
Pilin’ in the backseat
Party till we’re fatigued
Generating steam heat

No rows no seats
Everybody on your feet and smash it up!
Smash it up! Meet me at the downbeat!

We’re on the downbeat
We’re on the downbeat
We’re on the downbeat
Get on the downbeat

Front door, kick it in! Let ’em know it’s dancing time!
Back door, beat it down! We don’t wanna wait in line
No rows, no seats, everybody on your feet, and smash it up
Smash it up! Meet me at the downbeat!
We’re on the downbeat, We’re on the downbeat, We’re on the downbeat.
Get on the downbeat!
