		Operation Ivy laid the foundations for later skacore acts, mixing the off-beat upstroke of ska guitars, rocksteady walking bass lines and explosive rhythms.

		Though the band would split by 1989, with memebers moving on to form Rancid, Operation Ivy's sound was the basis for much of the ska-punk revival of the '90s.

		They do a good job of bringing the words of Operation Ivy to the front, and force you to listen to the moral of the song, which is about love and respect, not just finding someone at a party to screw.

	U.S. forces launch operation "Ivy Serpent'' against insurgents in Iraq
		The Army's 4th Infantry Division launched operation "Ivy Serpent'' Saturday night with a series of raids on suspected pro-Saddam holdouts, instituting aggressive checkpoints and sweeps through illegal weapons markets in the Baqouba and Balad on the Tigris River, north of the capital.
		Operations often have taken place in the dead of night with teams of scouts conducting reconnaissance, tanks establishing security cordons and quick-action infantrymen with night-vision goggles storming suspected locations.
		But the start of Ivy Serpent -- expected to last at least a few days -- coincided with a full moon taking away some of the advantage the Americans have in the dark, U.S. military officials said.

		I knew he'd played in a band called Basic Radio, and I knew that he was bummed that they'd broken up.
		Then I went away for three months, and when I got back the first thing I heard was that there was this great new band at Gilman called Operation Ivy and that they were playing that night.
		Anchored by the seemingly effortless, but never less than excellent drumming of Dave Mello, Operation Ivy came and went with the fleeting incandescence of a comet that will remain emblazoned forever on the consciousness of anyone who ever had the privilege of witnessing them in their glory.
