For years OC has supported the
likes of Social Distortion, The Offspring, Lit, The Vandals, Cold War Kids,
Young the Giant, and Dirty Heads. Sure, there’s been a ton of great bands
that’ve come out of the OC, but it was the 90’s that really put the spotlight
here. It was the third wave of ska, and it was a golden age for local music.
These bands fused ska with punk and lit up the airwaves. Bands that were part
of that explosion were My Superhero, Save Ferris, The Aquabats, Reel Big Fish
and No Doubt. The music gods specifically smiled upon No Doubt. They drew
international recognition to the genre and the OC. Ever since, Orange County
has been the end-all-be-all for all that is cool about music.
Unfortunately, it’s been a minute or two since that was the case. For decades,
Orange County has had a thriving music community; and now… the OC is poised to
take back the power with a band called Bite Me Bambi. Fourth wave ska has been
percolating for a bit. Bite Me Bambi fits all the boxes to be the next big
thing. They’ve played a handful of shows, and now they’re about to debut a new
album, music video and a headlining show is just around the corner March 29 at
House of Blues Anaheim. From top to bottom, they represent the best of OC ska.
On Tuesday they released a new video for their song "Hot Lava" and it
is a great little ska punk song. The track follows a string of singles from
2019. You can check out the new video below.
