Sublime announces their first album since 1996, 'Until the Sun Explodes', featuring Jakob Nowell as frontman and set for release on June 12.
Operation Ivy-a band named after a 1952 American hydrogen bomb test-did the unthinkable: they fused hardcore and ska. Their lone LP, Energy, is just that: a kinetic jolt of gritty, uptempo punk. Is Op Ivy more deserving of a Nobel than Ernest Lawrence? It's hard to say. But if the Nobel committee had any sense, Ska-Punk would be a prize category alongside Physics and Peace, and Op Ivy would be standing on a platform in Stockholm with medals around their necks.
