Adventures of the O.C. Supertones is the first album released by The O.C. Supertones. Its lyrical content is mostly simple and spiritual, similar to worship music. Cornerstone reviewer Don Hill stated that its simplicity was similar to that of the song "Father Abraham", designed to "draw you out of yourself and into the presence of God like a small child."[2] Some exceptions are "Blood Washed Pilgrim" which contains direct theology, and "Found" which references Saul's conversion to explain the purpose of the band.[1] In the words of the band this is "Preach the Gospel, reach your heart, and ska, ska, ska, ska!"[3] "OC Supertones" continues the explanations, stating their stance on the church and some of the band's background.[1] Musically the album contains simple guitar supported by horns, with splashes of reggae, alternative rock, and rap.[3] The latter elements would became more prevalent later in the band's later releases.

The dialogue introduction for "Found" is from Back to the Future,[3] when Doc Brown realizes the Libyans have found him.

Production of the album took about ten days in the studio.[4]
