Hectic marks the explosive debut EP from Operation Ivy, the influential Bay Area punk band that helped ignite the Gilman Street scene in the late 1980s. Fronted by Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman—who would go on to form Rancid—Operation Ivy blends high-energy punk with ska rhythms, delivering a raw, urgent sound that inspired a generation of bands.
This remastered edition of Hectic revives the original six songs, recorded in a whirlwind nine-hour session in Oakland back in 1987. Packaged with an eight-page booklet containing lyrics, credits, artwork, and photos, this release captures the spirit and message of a genre-defining moment in punk history.
