Save Ferris is a ska-punk band formed in Orange County, California circa 1995. Their name is a reference to the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Lead by the inimitable front-woman Monique Powell, the band enjoyed mainstream success in the late 1990s with radio hits, constant touring and appearances on a variety of television shows and movies. The band released their debut EP "Introducing Save Ferris" on Powell's own Starpool Records, in 1996. They ended up selling close to 20,000 copies of their EP out of the trunks of their cars, thanks to loyal fans and huge support from Orange County independent record shops. That same year, Powell provided vocals on the Reel Big Fish song "She Has A Girlfriend Now" on their album "Turn the Radio Off"

"That's right, skate punk never died, and North Idaho's Better Daze sound like a band from a 1996 Warped Tour lineup was beamed right into the present day. Their [debut] album Welcome To..., released in February [2019], is a half-hour that reminds you of a time when Green Day still had edge, with songs taking swipes at everything from Sean Hannity, to celebrity self-absorption, to hypocritical cultural standards."
