"Super Rad!" - The Aquabats! Music Video

[@DemonWarp65]

I was born in 72, and I just loved the 90s alternative scene. Ska, punk, grunge, industrial, I just ate all of it up. Then, about a week ago, I discovered this band. HOW DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG!?

[@Didi_Meow_Records]

GWAR vs. the Aquabats was what introduced me to the Aquabats

[@DemonWarp65]

@@Didi_Meow_Records And I discovered that about a week after finding this. I am a raging GWAR fanatic. That only makes me madder. How did I go all this time without ever knowing about this Super Rad band?

[@Cheesykid]

@@Didi_Meow_RecordsI remember being like 6 or 7 and i was in my room and I saw some dudes dressed in blue fighting what looked like a giant Cobra, little did I know that was the Aquabats and I was hooked now I am 11 and I watch it with my brother

They were/are such a fun, great band! :) Travis gives the in's and out's about his time with the Aquabats, and from what I gather/have read, I wasn't an "Easy" decision for him to leave this band....

Remember these guys coming into the family office in Oregon for an interview when they first came out. Super cool guys. Happy to see them tour and make content still.

This is from the pilot of the Aquabats that Disney apparently owned, but then got trade marked by some other companie in 99’, then got picked up in 2008 being probably produced by the hub, and premiered in 2012 and ended in 2018.

Awe look at Travis, back when he only had 26 tattoos. Gotta love and remember your humble beginnings! Which he respectfully does.

Props to Travis! Go Bats!

The last time I heard this song was way back 2007 from the credits of SOCCER DOG! (I was at first grade!)
