SKU: JUMP191
Description:
US import!
THE
OPERATORS formed in late 2018 from members of Indianapolis ska/punk
bands Circle City Decons, Harley Poe, Lockstep, & Indien, and
by February 2019 the band’s debut demo EP was unleashed to the
world. The band spent the next couple of years creating a
captivating live show after the addition of Brittnay Brumfield as
front woman, leading up to the release of their debut album “Leave
The Light On” in November 2021. THE OPERATORS deliver a mix
of neo-traditional ska sounds with the energy of punk, full of
constantly changing tempos/rhythms with a bright & tight horn
section – for those around at beginning of the 90s ska scene, their
sound would have fit alongside the hotbed of great “new” Moon Ska
NYC acts like The Skalars, Easy Big Fella, Highball Holiday,
Magadog, and Regatta 69 as well as legacy bands The Toasters, Let’s
Go Bowling, The Pietasters, and New York Citizens. The band became
a regular feature in Chicago and soon became darlings of The
Slackers, who not only put them on two Slackfests but took them out
on their first East Coast tour in 2024. With an appearance at
Skappleton 2024 and their forthcoming kick off for Supernova Ska
Festival in September, this year could only have gotten better with
a brand new record – which we have dropped today!
Compared to their debut,
“Self Titled Second Album” is the the first where the band wrote
together as a full unit including the additions of Brittany
Brumfield & Sarah Harwood. The album is entirely self produced
with music & lyrics contributed by five of the members, which
lead to lots of diverse influences & styles being thrown
together. Even though many of the songs were inspired by
relationship turmoil, the overall vibe of these new songs is
uplifting and hopeful. These eleven songs are an infectious mix of
ska, reggae, punk, Latin & spacey vibes – and are meant to
create an instant emotional and unavoidable reaction in your feet
and legs. Let’s Dance! THE OPERATORS are steering a Modern Train To
Skaville that nods to the music’s Jamaican roots while at the same
time energizing the generation who grew up with Third Wave Ska. Hop
on board!
