[edit] First popular Christian rock band?

I'm not so sure that one can say the Supertones were "the first widely popular Christian Rock band". Consider the success of Newsboys, dc Talk, and others before them. Additionally, the final paragraph about the "explicitly Christian" lyrical content compared to other bands is a pretty subjective statement and lacks any cited evidence. I suggest a change to make this article more NPOV.Kbomb 18:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that the reference for the statement, "first widely known Christian Ska band," is a fan site. I don't think thats a reputable refererence. Consider bands such as Five Iron Frenzy, and The W's. I'm rewriting the sentence as, "The OC Supertones were one of the first succesful Christian Ska bands." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saksjn (talk • contribs) 14:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The whatevers were a band, the whatever was a band

Because the name of the band itself is in the plural, it is grammatically correct to say the supertones were a band, not the supertones was a band. thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.186.158.79 (talk) 04:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC).

That's actually wrong. The letter 's' doesn't automatically make something plural. The OC Supertones is a band and is singular proper noun. So the verb needs to agree with the number of the subject which is one band. Thus "was" and not "were".

Example: "The Marines was the sponsor of the event." versus "Those marines were on guard duty at the event."
