Note: The band’s name is properly “Supernova,” one word.

This pop-punk band was formed in Orange County, California, in 1989 and released three albums of fast, funny songs with an aesthetic that combined childish glee and science fiction themes.

From Wikipedia:

Supernova recorded their debut studio album Ages 3 & Up in 1995 on Amphetamine Reptile Records. The release of the album was followed by extensive touring as the band joined the line-up of the inaugural Vans Warped Tour in 1995, spending the remainder of the decade regularly touring with such notable Orange County bands like The Aquabats and Reel Big Fish, as well as opening for bands including The Buzzcocks, Dick Dale, The Presidents of the United States of America and The Supersuckers. In 1998, Supernova released their second album Rox, accompanied by another appearance on the Warped Tour in 1999. Rox was soon followed by Pop as a Weapon in 2001, a compilation album collecting all of the band’s early vinyl releases.

Similar to such bands as The Aquabats, The Phenomenauts or Servotron, one defining aspect of Supernova is the fictional mythology which accompanies the band’s outer space theme.

According to the band’s biography and press kits, the origins of Supernova begin on the distant planet of Cynot 3, a world inhabited by kind aliens who spend their days relaxing and searching for valuable tin foil. One day in 1989, their sun exploded in a supernova and the Cynotions were forced to flee the planet. Three native Cynotians – Art, Hank and Dave (later retconned to include Jo in hybernation phase) – escape just in time with their rock n' roll-powered tour bus spaceship and crash land in Costa Mesa, where they decide to start their very own rock band and use their popularity to convince Earth kids to bring them precious tin foil.

In 1995, Supernova produced a 25-minute television pilot starring themselves based on the band’s mythology. Entitled Last In Space: A Show for Kids?, the pilot was an adult-oriented children’s show chronicling the trio’s adventures within their space van, complete with musical numbers. The pilot ultimately failed to generate network interest, but copies of the pilot were regularly sold on VHS at the band’s shows up until their hiatus.
