Save Ferris
Save Ferris, a name inspired by the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, was a ska punk bank formed in 1996 in California, consisting of members of other ska bands at the time, including Monique Powell (lead vocals), Brian Mashburn (vocals and guitar), Bill Uechi (bass), Eric Zamora (saxophone), Jose Castellanos (trumpet), Brian Williams (trombone) and Marc Harismendy (drums).
The band released their debut EP “Introducing Save Ferris” in 1996 and later that year earned a Grammy showcase award for best unsigned band, which lead them to a recording contract with Epic Records. The following year saw the release of their first full-length album called “It Means Everything” for which they toured extensively to promote. In April of 1998, they made their television debut on the HBO music series Reverb and then were seen in the box office movie 10 Things I Hate About You. This album earned the band moderate success in the United States and spawned three top ten hits in both Japan and Mexico. That winter, however, Harismendy left the band and was replace by Evan Kilbourne on drums.
