When Op Ivy broke up and Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman went on to form Rancid while vocalist Jesse Michaels kept doing his thing with Common Rider, they left a classic behind called “Energy”. That album has already been re-released a while back with eight additional songs (the “Hectic” EP and two songs from the “Turn It Around” comp). Now that re-release has been re-released but not before it was remastered.

Not a whole lot more that needs to be said about this one. It’s a classic, you simply need to have this in your collection. So if you haven’t, go pick it up without hesitating and if you do already own a copy, you might wanna check this one out nonetheless because of the better sound quality.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
