Supernova is a pop punk trio founded in 1989. They hail from Costa Mesa, California. The founding band were members Dave Collins, Art Mitchell and Hayden Thais (replaced in 1994 by Jodey Lawrence).
They recorded the song "Chewbacca" for Kevin Smith's indie classic "Clerks."
They released Ages 3 & Up on Atlantic Records in 1995.
They've played the original Vans Warped Tour in summer of 1995, again in 1999, and have toured with The Buzzcocks, The Aquabats, The Presidents of the United States of America and several other top acts. They are currently in the lineup for the Vans Warped Tour 2007.
Recordwise, since 1995's Ages 3 & Up, the band has gone on to release Rocks in 1998 on Amphetamine Reptile Records and Pop as a Weapon in 2002 through the Sympathy for the Record Industry label.
On June 27, 2006, the group sued CBS and Mark Burnett, claiming their summer reality series Rock Star infringes on their Supernova trademark with the show's all-star Supernova (Rock Star band) [1] and won the rights of the name against CBS.
