A cursory Google search of Save Ferris brings up a whole bunch of controversies: performing at a show promoted by a guy with MAGA ties, responding to the backlash to that performance with a super defensive IG post, responding to that backlash with a “top selling” t-shirt clearly designed by AI, then responding to that backlash by deleting social media comments about AI. And this comes after the singer brought back “Save Ferris” without the knowledge of the other original band members, which is partly why she was booed when appearing on screen during a screening of a ska documentary (skakumentary)?
The list goes on. To me, they’re just guilty for (another!) 80s cover that’s significantly worse than the original. Their “Come on Eileen” sounds like it was performed by No Doubt if Gwen Stefani was really really really into musical theater. “Goodbye” has a similar vibe, only it’s teeters more into the retro swing thing. Unlike Ferris, neither song is righteous, dude.
