Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman from Op Ivy would later play in Rancid. This is classic Ska Punk with tons of influence from Rocksteady and Reggae and some hiphop/rap. One of my all time favorite bands. I played this CD nonstop when I was young in the 90s.
So great to see all the Op Ivy fans here!!! ❤️
Woooow. Big, BIG respect for you two, I haven't seen anyone reacting to Operation Ivy, ever. Legends of punk-ska, so cool of you to give them a chance :)
If I could love this 100 times I would. You can't go wrong with anything by OpIvy. Sound System, Room Without A Window, Gonna Find You, Big City, Healthy Body.... Keep going, I beg you.
Or the Aquabats cover of Knowledge... f'n epic.
What about Here We Go Again
Masterpiece album, 27 excellent tracks! My favs are Bad Town and Jaded
Oooook. Op Ivy are simply incredible. These guys were high school age, and the biggest punk band on the scene. Short lived and burned bright. Many good songs to choose from.
Crazy they were only around 2 years!!
They ended up becoming Rancid.
@@joesmith8725 2 of them.
@@peeramidwithin3823 You're right. True.
Punk Ska!!
YES OP IVY!!!! Soundsystem, jaded, the crowd, missionary.... all great songs from them
So many good ones to choose from. Bad Town, Sound System and Big City are 3 of my faves
Here we go again!!
@@peeramidwithin3823 I forgot about bad town!
Healthy body
Operation Ivy is the sun that all other East bay Punks reflected. Green Day used to open for them! Two members of this band went on to form Rancid. one of the other most popular punk acts of the 90's. Every single song on this album was different and some bands based their entire vibe on one of their sounds.
Yes!
Green Day opened for them once; Op Ivy’s last show, Green Day’s first
It's a very Lo-Fi sound for sure. I got into them in 1995 which was still years after they'd split. I used to run a punk and ska website in the early 2000s and got a chance to sit down and interview Jesse Michaels for his (at the time) back Common Rider. He gave us at least an hour of his time during the Ska Against Racism tour in 2002. As a longtime fan it was everything I'd hoped it'd be. Super down to earth and open and just real.
Just listening to this album today! Classic SKA Punk.
OMG! You did opivy! Please do 'Sound System' by the same artists (unless you don't want to see Lex hoppin around like a crazy person) next!!!!!
I'm in my 40s now. But at age 16, my buddy made a homemade tattoo gun and I've had this Operation Ivy tattoo ever since then. I rarely listen to them nowadays, but man oh man... I loved them as a teenager. Now we need some CRIMPSHRINE, Yeastie Girlz and Neurosis next, to properly relive the classic 924 Gilman, East Bay scene.
Mad respect for listening to this band. One of my faves.
Y'all do all of my favorite bands/songs! Best music reaction channel by far!!!!!!
Never thought I’d see this band pop up on your channel but I’m here for it. I was a teenager in the Bay Area just after they broke up, so I never got to see them live but I did see countless bands who were massively influenced by them, including one of my fav Bay Area ska punk bands Hoodlum Empire.
I saw No Doubt, Hoodlum Empire and Cherry Poppin Daddies @ The Berkeley Square. Killer Show, were you there?
This album was so so so so so influential. The cornerstone of all 3rd wave ska/ ska punk. Not to mention 90s East Bay punk lookout style pop punk which in turn influences all other Pop punk since then. Green day still plays Knowledge often.
You would have a lot of die hard fans on your side if you check out more of their stuff.
Yes!
Been a fan since about '90.
Can't believe you guys are doing this one, it's very aggressive and raw, Real Punk
I was in our local mall in like 1996 (14 at the time) and usually stayed away from the store Hot Topic but heard a type of song I hadn't heard before then and had to go ask what song and band it was. Ended up being "Missionary" and I went home with that CD; was instantly hooked
Op Ivy and Minor Threat were contemporaries emerging from the west coast and east coast punk scenes, respectively. Pretty interesting parallel stories. Both very influential even though they didn't last long at all, really no more than a few years. For both bands, you could get their entire catalog of releases on just one CD (it helps that their songs tend to be short). Operation Ivy's ex-members would form Rancid, while Minor Threat lead into Fugazi.
Fun bit of trivia: The cover of Rancid's breakout release ...And Out Come the Wolves would pay tribute to the famous image of Minor Threat's singer Ian McKaye's brother taking a nap on the steps outside a club.
They weren’t contemporaries as Minor Threat had long broken up before Operation Ivy formed.
@@robertfoster1665 I don't know if 4 years counts as "long before" in the context of looking back to 40-ish years ago, but you're right, they weren't actually contemporaries. I should have used a different word.
Minor Threat has been in my top five from 1984 till this day
I saw FUGAZI here in Aotearoa new zealand bucket list right there
You guys are spot on with the fusion in this band. Ska punk? Yeah. Reggae.
Wow!! Now its official you are the best music reaction chanel... going underground in all genres of music
And this is why you guys are the best reaction youtube channel. No one else is listening to stuff like Op Ivy. Even though punk is still cool and nostalgic for me; I dig all kinds of music and I like a lot of what you guys feature. Keep up the great work!
So glad you did these guys! SUPER influential!
There were plenty of other bands prior to OpIvy that mixed punk and reggae/ska. 2nd Wave Ska (aka Two-Tone) bands like The Specials, The Selecter, English Beat, Madness, and several Hardcore Punk bands like Bad Brains, Scream, and Underdog. But they were punk songs and reggae songs, not punk/ska songs. Operation Ivy was really the first to fully mix Hardcore Punk with Reggae, Ska and Rap, to create Punk/Ska aka Skunk aka Skacore.
They weren’t around long but they basically spawned the entire 3rd Wave Ska movement of the early-to-mid-90s, and after the band broke up, members went on to be in other bands like Dance Hall Crashers, Leftover Crack, Rancid and The Transplants
^^^Everything you said^^^
(You saved me the trouble.)
I kinda' wish they'd review The Beat ("Mirror In The Bathroom" or "Too Nice to Talk To"), The Specials ("Ghost Town", "Gangsters" or "Racist Friend"), Madness (Anything except for "Our House"), anything by The Selector, even "Farm Yard Connection" by Fun Boy Three.
@@johnstjohn6658 I was actually gonna suggest Mirror In The Bathroom … what a classic! Plus also Ranking Full Stop and their version of Tears Of A Clown. Also Id be remiss if I didnt suggest The Specials’ A Message To You Rudy, and Youre Wondering Now, and Madness’ Night Boat To Cairo and One Step Beyond … GOTTA do the official vids for those! They were pretty funny!
Those others you suggested would def also be worth a listen!
Thank you for sharing! What a great informative read! Ska punk is my favorite genre and I've been playing op ivy daily, I've also been a fan of Rancid and Leftover Crack for a few years now. I always love to learn more about punk and ska!
@@skatepunk_babygrrrl6666 So strange that people bagged on 3rd Wave Ska aka Ska Punk. Along with the Swing Revival, it was super fun music, spread like wildfire, then just disappeared! So VERY short-lived …
Clash did it about 10 years before so did the band pere ubu.
Punk crossed with Ska...some pretty funky grooves
Love seeing you guys react to more underground music. This is why I actually watch your videos, because you check out punk/ska stuff. Keep it up!
Common Rider is another band with a few of these members. would recommend Classics of Love. love Op Ivy!
Punk Ska!! Love it. This could (and should) lead you down a massive and fun wormhole!
This is where half of Rancid started.
This band and album is considered to what had brought Ska and Punk together and inspired many ska-punk bands to this today. This one of the albums that got me into punk back in the early 90's and it's still one of the most important albums to me.
I havent even watched the video yet. Mad props to you guys. Op Ivy one of my ALL TIME FAVES.
One of kind band.
I was fortunate to grow up with Tim and Matt of Operation IVY and later Rancid. We played together in a few punk and ska bands in the early to 80's prior to their formation of Basic Radio and later Op IV. Very talented and hard working individuals. Good times!
I don't know if people realize just how successful Tim is. He's a very in demand songwriter for other acts. When Trouble by Pink released, I was like, holy shit I really like this song. Of course it was Tim's song. He is super talented and I am jealous you got to observe it in some form.
@@peeramidwithin3823people can talk trash about him all they want - the dude knows his way around a book and has written 100s of bangers.
this is like the quintessential punk / ska of the late 80s and early 90s - "Knowledge" and "Unity" are like the #1 anthems
You'd be surprised how many punks and Skinheads are for unity. Jamaican reggae is a huge influence on our culture.
Ska
Every song is sick AF
You are in for a treat. This was on repeat from like 17-25 or longer for me.
Always loved this band, they didnt release much but were a massive influence on the scene, and obviously grew Rancid, one of the biggest bands on the scene
They are The Godfather’s of punk ska
Great listen, good band.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Nice, love op ivy
Yes!!!!! I love Op Ivy!! You have to do the song "Here we go again"!! Or "yellin in my ear"!! Rad video!! Thanks!
Damn, after listening to the Reel Big Fish cover of this, I pretty much forgot about the original. It's been awhile.
East Bay Punk is a tremendous music scene to check out from the 80's and the 90's. So many great bands in that area during that time period.
Bingo
Every era of ska is kinda centered around unity to a degree.
You won’t find many more influential albums than that self titled Op Ivy album. Pure genius. 🙌🏼
Stone cold classic song.
Operation Ivy !!!!! So great
For a real treat you guys should check out the band SNOT. I would start with Stoopid or Joy Ride. 🤘
Ska core. They are the best at it. Another great discography. Love Op Iv. Less Than Jake is another great Ska core band. They have a horn section. Less Than Jake - I wish I had my own flag.
They have a lot of really good catchy songs.
Classic Album right there.
KIA ORA HELLO from Aotearoa new zealand.Tim Armstrong touch's music and it's GOLD I've seen RANCID TWICE WICKED
Also, the dude is is the lead singer in Rancid. I think he was in the transplants as well, you know, that 'diamonds and guns' song, could be wrong on that last one though.
No,you're right! Tim Armstrong. 👍🏻
@@basenback76 Lint 😉
Thanks Ya'll!
Punk Rocks
Unity ✊
Stop Wars
.
Omg. Yes! Op Ivy is the BEST.
Very good, Lex and Brad! This is ska-punk. Mixture of reggae/ska and punk and does have a little rap vibe. This is popular in California. Operation Ivy is from California. Many ska punks (and punk rock in general) came out of southern California, many of them have horns, too (ska). Lot of unity songs in this style music, BTW. Punk, reggae/ska shares the same kind of ethos, culture. Usually political (anti-authority), uplifting, DIY ethos, for racial harmony, unity, civil/human rights, liberty/individual freedom, brotherhood, etc. And this is also skate punk. Skate punk is all kinds of punk style. Skaters also listen to other genres when in the mood like reggae, ska, hip-hop, alternative rock, metal, etc.
SoCal ska-punk bands that yall know are No Doubt (Gwen Stefani), Sublime, Goldfinger, Rancid, Fishbone, Reel Big Fish, etc. Some yall have reacted to as well. Others from other states, too like Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Streetlight Manifesto, Less Than Jake, etc. Sometimes The Clash, too. There was a fusion, because groups like these ( punk bands, reggae bands, ska bands, etc ) were underground music for a long time and played at same smaller clubs, shared the same audiences. The bands started influencing each other. Mostly in California (Southern Cal and Northern Cal/Bay Area/Eastbay) , DC, NYC, and the UK.
Here's a good description here as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ska_punk
I feel like Op Ivy is proof that people were more open/loving in the 80s then they are today lol always been an all time favorite band of mine
Kinda crazy that a bunch of teenage punks would end up writing a timeless song that despite being like 30 years old now is just as relevant today as it was when they wrote it. It's like a Punk Rock Subterranean Homesick Blues, still relevant (unfortunately) after all these years.
Holy crap never thought I’d hear an Op Ivy reaction! Nice!
Now check out Tim Armstrong's other band The Transplants with Travis Barker on drums, Vic from The Slackers on keys, Rancid bandmates, and roadie/rapper Rob Aston! A+
I never imagined you guys would get to Op Ivy! That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Also check out 'Knowledge' or my favourite 'The Crowd'
All punk is Uniting
You could react to Rancid - Journey to the End of the East Bay. That song was about the time Tim Armostrong (vocals) and Matt Freeman (bass) were playing in Op Ivy, and the song has _the_ best bass line in music history.
about damn time
Op ivy is a super deep cut into the punk/ska scene this is from my days as a kid
Operation Ivy one of the greatest bands. They’re lyrics are deep. They gave rise to Rancid and Greenday. This was their only album. Definitely the greatest Ska band ever!!
Awesome. I like the song Bro Hymn. That's the one song that pops up in my head whenever I hear Pennywise
That's a fucking PUNKROCK ANTHEM i saw PENNYWISE here in Aotearoa new zealand about two years ago took one of my old punkrocker mate's dieing of lung cancer it was his last GIG he was in a lot of pain died less than two weeks after but that night i could see complete HAPPYNESS ON DENNIS FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT
I dont think I’ve ever seen anyone do Op IV before.
Ooohh now you're talking.... take the dive guys
Wow, i never never thought id see op ivy on one of these. Under appreciated band who was one of the kickstarters to true punk rock
Love that Tim Armstrong left you both speechless… that’s good music 🤘
There were so many good punk bands in the 80s and 90s that had diverse sounds. Op Ivy was really good. Another band I listened to back then was The Big Boys. These guys even covered Cool and the Gang Songs. Hollywood Swinging.
YES, more punk. Next up, how about some EXPLOITED?
Or DEAD KENNEDY'S
Op Ivy recorded about 45-50 songs, and just about all of them are great. Just too bad these guys didn't stick it out longer. Luckily Rancid turned out pretty well, so theres that. More Op Ivy reactions though!
Please check out Never In My Life by Mountian with the great guitarist Leslie West. 1970's
YUS!!! Ya know, you can't spell Skate Punk without S K A
Unity, is where its at. This song made me wanna get Unity tatted on my leg back when i was 16..22 years ago. As one we stand together.
You guys have to listen to some Black Crows! Those guys are freakin awesome!!!! Salvation, on a good day, talks to angels, all good songs 🎵 🎶
Damn, you guys are listening to my high school experience these days! Love it!
More Operation Ivy! More Rancid!
This reminds my of being young, dumb and full of life and potential.
Op Ivy is incredible, love seeing your reactions to them here, 100%
Best punk band!
YES!!! Op Ivy for the Win!! So glad you found them.
Daaamn. This used to be a deep kinds bad. See them played back yard shows. And when you saw someone with their shirt on you just gave them that what's up. yesss!
Not a huge fan of this band, but they did have some exceptional songs. Do like the fact you guys are doing this band as punk has been my thing for about 35 years-hopefully you keep diving down that path.
That is real cool putting in some Operation Ivy in the mixx. check out "Sound System" & " Knowledge"
🤘💀👍
Other unity songs to check out: Rancid “Avenues & Alleyways”
Sham 69 “If The Kids Are United”
Anti-Flag “911 For Peace”
The next Operation Ivy song has to be "Healthy Body" or "Soundsystem". Also the ska, dub, rocksteady, reggae vibe in punk grew out of bands like the Clash...who had a heavy influence on bands like Op Ivy and Rancid and 80s and 90s punk in general.
i'd also throw their song "Knowledge" in there as well, a song geared more towards their Hardcore sound, but there is NOT ONE bad Op Ivy song!
Yes! One of my favorite bands. Definitely need to react to The Crowd now by Op Ivy
A.D. and B.C. .....This is Before Rancid....
Op ivy existed for a short time and only made 1 album.. but hundreds of bands that came after them list them as influences.
Wow you guys did Operation Ivy you guys rule
The witch by The Cult 🔥🔥
As far as My sacrifice song I'd concerned; I lost my brother and this song reminds me of him and how I lost. If you see the video, you will understand. To me, it's about listening or seeing a lost one again.
Operations ivy rocks! Check out less than jake.
yessssssss now we're talking
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
Please check out some nofx- radio, seeing double at the triple rock, creeping out Sarah
When get a chance check out: Descendents 'Milo Goes To College" album.
