Description: From the heart of Berkeley’s 924 Gilman Street collective, Operation Ivy’s Energy (1989) became one of the most influential punk records of its era. Released on Lookout! Records, the album fused breakneck punk aggression with ska rhythms, setting the template for the third wave ska movement of the 1990s. With politically charged lyrics and a raw DIY approach, it captured the ideals of community, resistance, and self-reliance that defined the East Bay scene. Though the band dissolved months after its release, members Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman carried the spirit forward by founding Rancid. For collectors, Energy is not only a cornerstone of ska punk but a cultural document of American underground music.
