A failed ska radical sour alternative popsters, Save Ferris was originally formed as a ska-punk band named Los Pantelones. After the radical broke up in 1995, guitar player Brian Mashburn and sax player Eric Zamora began writing songs, in concert with former bandmates Bill Uechi (bass) and José Castellaños (trumpeter). The quadruplet later recruited drummer Mark Harismendy, vocalizer Monique Powell and trombone player T-Bone Willy.
The band gigged around the Orange County area for just unitary month, and recorded the EP Introducing Save Ferris. Invited to vie in a Grammy Showcase of unsigned bands, Save Ferris south Korean won local and regional competitions, then flew to New York for the last round; after just one show, a senior executive at Epic Records began talk to the band and sign them, fifty-fifty earlier they establish out the results of the competition.
