Influential Orange County ska-punk band SAVE FERRIS will make their long awaited return in 2017 their first new EP and headlining, North American tour in over 15 years. The band will release a new EP, New Sound, on February 10th, which also marks the start of their tour in Santa Barbara, CA. The tour will include support from Vista Kicks on West Coast dates and Baby Baby on East Coast dates.
Led by the inimitable frontwoman Monique Powell, SAVE FERRIS has been mounting a monumental comeback over the last year, that’s included sharing the stage with No Doubt and Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Now, the band is poised to return to the forefront of pop-music with their first new EP, New Sound, since their 1997 breakout album It Means Everything and their 1999 follow-up Modified.
"Since this incarnation of Save Ferris first played together in 2013, the band and I have been working on new music, arranging schedules and selectively playing local shows to get ready for a tour. I have had to tell our fans to 'be patient, I promise it'll happen' for too long now! But now here we are. I can't believe we've made it this far....and now you get to see us in a town near you. For the first time in 15 years, Save Ferris is coming to get you! Are you ready?" - Monique Powell
For their first new EP in 15 years, SAVE FERRIS has called on fans directly to help fund the recording and release via a PledgeMusic campaign. The band is currently offering supporters a unique VIP experience that includes a soundcheck party, q&a, meet & greet and photos with the band, as well as signed CDs, Tote Bags, Signed Certificates, Pin Sets, Signed Photos, Listening Party and more.

Produced by Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila, New Sound not only marks SAVE FERRIS’ return, but as the title suggests it also signals a new beginning for the band. After splitting with former bandmates, Powell has reinvigorated the SAVE FERRIS’ sound, embracing her ska and dub roots while moving the band forward with a contemporary upbeat sound that will thrive in today’s musical landscape. Stay tuned, SAVE FERRIS is back!
