Californiani di Oakland vicino a San Francisco, Ex Operation Ivy , si costituiscono nel 1980, la loro musica un misto punk e r’n’r, il successio arriva con Let’s go. I testi sono impegnati politicamente, a volte la musica si traforma in un ska e punk e i concerti dal vivo sono un ‘espressione coinvolgente con il pubblico. Dopo un breve periodo di silenzio tornano nel 2003 con un album Indestructible.
