Save Ferris took their name from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and their bounce from ska punk, getting together in Orange County, California, around 1995. They cut their teeth in underground venues across Southern California, and in 1996 a Grammy showcase award for best unsigned band landed them a deal with Epic.

Introducing... Save Ferris (1996) gave them "The World is New" and "Superspy", and their first full-length album, It Means Everything (1997), delivered "Goodbye" plus a revved-up run at Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen", still the record most people remember them for. The members have included Monique Powell, Brian Mashburn, Bill Uechi, Eric Zamora, José Castellanos, Evan Kilbourne, Marc Harismendy and T-Bone Willy.

By Modified (1999), with "Mistaken", they had swapped the skank for pop-punk. After that the band went quiet for a long stretch, then resurfaced in 2017 with the Checkered Past EP.
