Supervillains
The Supervillains are a 5-piece reggae-ska-punk band out of Orlando, FL. Founded in 1997 by original members Skart (vocals, guitar), Dom (vocals, drums), and Smally (sax). In 2004, the current line-up was solidified with the arrival of Ricky (trumpet) formerly of the legendary Spitvalves and the amazing bass skills of “Smoking Bowl” Joel Kamins!!! 2002 turned out to be their breakout year as the Villains pulled down a sponsorship with Jagermeister as an official jagerband. In between hangovers, they managed to tour the United States Virgin Islands four times for a total of 8 weeks as well as many other cities up and down the East Coast. After setting attendance records at both the House of Blues Orlando and also the Hard Rock Live, Orlando, they capped off the year when their debut full-length release “Horseshoes and Handgrenades” won Album of the Year at both the 2002 Orlando Music Awards and the Florida Punk & Ska Awards. 2003 was another banner year for the Villains, winning both Band of the Year at the Florida Punk & Ska Awards as well as the two-time readers choice (2003 & 2004) for Orlando Weekly’s “Best of Orlando” Award for best Punk band. Not your typical happy-go-lucky “SKA” band, the Supervillains are out to turn heads and push buttons and trying to reinstate the good name of ska and reggae. With the release of their second full-length album “JAHmerica”, a live album and a DVD already in 2004 the Supervillains are out for blood.
