It Means Everything, Save Ferris's debut album, hit the shelves on September 9, 1997, through Epic and Starpool, and it's Orange County ska with its brass polished and its hair done up. The band had been together since 1995, with singer Monique Powell doubling as manager thanks to her local scene connections, and a Grammy showcase set had landed them the Epic deal. They cut most of the record at NRG and The Hook in Hollywood between April and June 1997.
Ska upstrokes skip along, swing rhythms sneak in at the edges, and Powell belts like she's got something to prove, with Brian Mashburn's guitar keeping things jumping. Reviewers mostly liked it, and the No Doubt comparisons followed. The lead single was a bouncy cover of Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen", with "Goodbye" following, and the band hammered it home on the Warped Tour and on the road with Goldfinger, the Offspring and Sugar Ray.
