-spike- Wrote:Operation Ivy rules!!!! They kick so much butt.on that note, have you heard of 'Shaken 69'?? It was a band that I first head about about 10 years ago and it had a lot of old Op Ivy/Rancid guys and it was full on ska with horns and all. They did have a song on an old Lookout/Killrockstars compilation called 'A slice of Lemon' and the song RULED. I don't know if they ever released anything after that.
Also, in the Op Ivy vein is the band 'Big Rig' which was Jesse's (op ivy vocalist) band. Not the best stuff, but it was still really cool.
As far as punk, I used to be really into it in the 90's, you know, Bad Religion, Pennywise, NOFX, basically anything on Fat Wreck or Epitaph. I especially loved older stuff by Propagandhi. I wasn't too swift on their latest release, but 'More Rock Less Talk' and everything prior was just SOOOO good.
Nowadays I have mellowed out a lot and listen to lots of stuff like Ben Folds, Quasi, and Postal Service.
