Of course superhero rock is a thing, you dope. The Aquabats—which once featured Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker—blends ska, new wave, alternative rock, and a little bit of punk into its sound, and in past years, has even made a point to fight off villains onstage midshow.

No telling if the M.C. Bat Commander and the California-based outfit will do that in between tracks from their new album Finally!, but if not, episodes of the short-lived “Aquabats! Super Show!” are available for streaming on Tubi, Pluto TV, and—in terms of its revival—YouTube.

Tickets to see The Aquabats play The Ritz in Ybor City on Saturday, July 20 are still available and start at $26.50.
