What started as a group of misfit musicians with a rebelliousstreak quickly evolved into a full-force touring machine, bringing their infectioussound to countless stages across North America and the Caribbean.With seven full-length albums, two EPs, and a stack of singles, The Supervillainshave cemented their reputation as one of the hardest-working bands in theunderground ska-punk scene. In 2007, they signed with LAW Records, the labelowned by Hawaiian reggae heartthrobs Pepper, propelling their music to abroader audience and solidifying their place in the genre.Between relentless touring, the band found a second home in St. Thomas, wherethey escape to write new material, soaking in the island vibes and crafting thenext batch of anthems for their ever-loyal fanbase. Best described as a punk rockband that got kicked out of marching band, smoked too much weed, andstumbled in and out of a Reggae band, The Supervillains bring a sound that’sequal parts raw energy and laid-back groove.In Summer 2025, the band hits the road again for an ambitious USA tour, split intotwo legs—one covering the East Coast and another hitting the West Coast, withstops in between and, of course, Florida. Whether it’s a sweaty dive bar or a sun-soaked festival, one thing’s for sure: The Supervillains always bring a towel.Catch them on tour, crack a beer, and don’t be such a disappointment.

On her new album, Every Ghost, she confronts addiction, grief, generational trauma, and even herself — and comes through it stronger and at peace. “There’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record,” Waldon says of the nine-song project, recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis with her band, The Muleskinners. As she sings in the record’s title track and first song, “Ghost of Myself,” she’s put in the work not only to better herself and leave behind bad habits, but also to learn to love her past selves.
