"Hectic" was the debut EP by the seminal Ska-core band Operation Ivy. It is credited as one of the first records in the Ska-core genre. First it was released by itself, then later released with their only LP "Energy".
Larry Livermore (founder of Lookout! records) has said that Lookout was formed solely to release an Operation Ivy record. Lookout! Records was in fact started with simply a PO Box in order to release records by Livermore's own band, the Lookouts.; this was said to emphasize Operation Ivy's importance in Lookout! Records' catalog.
Recording and style
According to Lookout!'s website, "Hectic" was recorded in a shabby recording studio on an Autumn afternoon. It was recorded and mixed in a matter of days. Hectic was one of the first records to combine Hardcore and Ska.
Influence
"Hectic" is often overshadowed by "Energy", mainly because "Hectic" is included on the second release of "Energy". However, "Hectic" is widely regarded as the first ska-core album.
