Operation Ivy

Ska punk practitioners Operation Ivy have taken their name from a series of nuclear weapons tests conducted by the American military in 1952. Perhaps the group chose Operation Ivyfor their moniker because they hail from the San Francisco Bay Area, where political sensibilities run deep. Or maybe the band simply realized that their live shows create the impact radius of a mid-sized atomic blast. This explosiveness is captured in Energy. You can duck and cover, or rise up and be happily blown away.
