Hectic was the debut EP by the seminal Ska/Punk band Operation Ivy. It is credited as one of the first records in the Skacore 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. This is obviously not true and was only 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, and one of the first, if not the first, Ska records to not include a horn section.
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 punk album.
