August 1998 :: Ink Spots :: The Amazing Royal Crowns (Julio Diaz)
... ." Another good story is we played Orlando with the Cramps, at the House of Blues. Walking around Disney World with Lux (Interior) and (Poison) Ivy, that was a trip. It was really funny, really weird. The looks you must have got from the tourists, alone, must have been pretty funny... And you never think ...

November 1998 :: Music A-B :: The Aquabats (Julio Diaz)
... . My only exposure to the Aquabats had been from two witty covers on tribute records, including the nearly-infamous campfire sing-along version of Operation Ivy's "Knowledge." Of course, I knew the back story (The Aquabats, you see, are super-heroes from the lost continent of Aquabania!), but I was skeptical ...

March 1998 :: Music F-H :: The Gadjits (Julio Diaz)
... , the similarities end there, because rather than playing insipid, weak pop songs, the Gadjits play a unique brand of ska. While they show an obvious Operation Ivy influence, they've twisted that around deftly. Where OpIvy fused pop-punk to ska, the Gadjits have removed the punk element and replaced ...

April 1998 :: Ink Spots :: Skan Solo & the Wookies (Anthony Baker)
... by artists like the Skatalites, or Desmond Dekker? Who? Are those new bands? I've never heard of them. Naw, I like the band that really started ska, Operation Ivy. It's obvious that they're the roots of everything. That's my main influence as far as the music end goes. I don't know, one of the horn ...

Melancholy Tunes (Burning Heart/Epitaph). Review by Liza Hearon.
... fast with a catchy chorus, is the best track on here, with the ska riffs of "Use Your Nose" providing a nice contrast. The cover of "Knowledge" by Operation Ivy (a very popular cover song in the world of punk!) is entertaining, but doesn't do the original justice. I think Millencolin might've been better ...

June 1998 :: Music A-F :: The Eclectics (Julio Diaz)
... horn work. The result is two great tastes that, for once, taste great together, as the Eclectics turn in one of the best ska-punk records since Operation Ivy and the early Bosstones records! The key word here is fun, and lots of it! So few ska-punk records make me want to dance, but as soon as the horns ...

... the band has managed to mutate the songs they've chosen to include. For the most part, they're pretty good. Covers of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Zero," Operation Ivy's oft-covered "Knowledge," and Sponge's "Plowed" really aren't that far from the originals, and the Hum cover is just a little disappointing ...

Beijing to Boston (Bad News). Review by Jen Cray.
... . Sax, trombone and trumpet overtop of punk rock power chords and aggressive, but fun, vocals. They sound just like LTJ, except when they slip into Operation Ivy territory ("I'm Yours Boston"). These guys are still searching for the last ride on the 3rd Wave Ska movement of the '90s. They do it well ...

August 1998 :: Columns :: The Return of the DJ (Julio Diaz)
... 's had all but forgotten the DJ - even while bands like Public Enemy were giving the first glimmers of truly following in his footsteps. Bands like Operation Ivy were preaching unity, and while the toasting element was around (the first third wave band, the Toasters, were even named for the style), nobody ...
