This week we’re discussing everything by Operation Ivy. For those who don’t know, Op Ivy were one of the pioneers of ska punk in the late 80s, two of whose members went on to form Rancid (Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman). While technically they have one album and one EP, everything is neatly compiled onto a self-titled compilation from 2007. This is not an episode for die hard fans of the band. Ska has never been our thing at EAE, so enter at your own risk.

Closing track: “Take Warning” from Energy (1989)
