Part of the reason was that they were 1 of the genre's innovators, possessed of a novelty that many of their imitators lacked, merely their lyrics were often more intelligent and essential as well. Thanks to their early breakup (the chemical group was but together for iI years), Operation Ivy became an abiding, even legendary influence in the neo-punk underground, especially after half of the band went on to hit it big in a new free radical, Rancid. Operation Ivy were formed in Berkeley, CA, in May 1987 out of the ashes of several local bands. Lead isaac Bashevis Singer Jesse Michaels, guitar player Lint (born Tim Armstrong), bassist Matt McCall (born Matt Freeman, renamed afterward the hero of the TV series The Equalizer), and drummer Dave Mello began performing extensively at the famous Gilman Street golf club, a center of the Bay Area's burgeoning punk revival meeting scene. (Initially, they had no horn section, though sax player Paul Bae would later unite them on selected recordings.) They quickly sign with the local punk rocker label Lookout, and appeared on deuce compilations by the end of the year: the label sampler The Thing That Ate Floyd, and the Maximum Rock'n'Roll magazine publisher taste tester Turn It Around. In 1988, they released an EP coroneted Hectic and toured the state, playing small-scale punk rocker venues. With a budding repute as an fantabulous live band, EMI offered Operation Ivy a major-label handle. Unsure of how to react to the prospect of success -- both because of their independent politics and local-mindedness -- the band chose to break up rather than compromise their intentions, playing their final demonstrate in May 1989. Their debut uncut record album, Energy, was released on Lookout several months later, and became a touchstone of the third wave ska revival mostly through word of mouth. Michaels went on to sing with Big Rig before going music; varying accounts book that he became either a Buddhist monastic or a Central American missionary, and crataegus oxycantha consume returned to the U.S. to influence for Lookout. Mello united Schlong and then reunited in short with Armstrong and Freeman in Downfall, which released an record album on Lookout in 1995. Armstrong and Freeman, backsliding to their real names, formed Rancid in 1991; their Clash-inspired punk and ska helped make them one of the virtually democratic bands of the '90s punk rock resurgence, after Green Day and the Offspring.
