Everybody Loves Op Ivy
I was kicking around in a local used music shop when I stumbled upon this goody:
Bomb. I was a huge lover of Operation Ivy back in the day. In fact they were probably the band which got me into punk rock.
Tribute to Operation Ivy was released in 2002, but don't be surprised if you've never seen it because this baby is a Japan-only comp with all Japanese bands save one (NoCal's The Chinkees). There are a couple stand out tracks, DOBERMAN's Bombshell and Sk@ymate's Sound System jump out at me, but the whole album is really damn solid. Much better than its American counterpart.
I don't usually gush over comps, especially tribute comps, but this one is an upbeat trip down memory lane. The Japanese bands attack Op Ivy's songs with a sense of fun which is painfully missing from every cover of Unity I've had to sit through at a basement show.
