Jesse Michaels is definitely better known within the punk rock community as the lead singer for the band Operation Ivy. This band served and still serves as a light switch to countless listening ears. The only reason for it in my opinion is that Operation Ivy were not just making music, but were to their best of their abilities communicating. Jesse explores with t-bo punk rock, self-actualization, and all that other good shit.

What about that song from Youth Brigade… Punk don’t die, they just get old… How to grow old and still be a punk? Let Jesse stir your imagination.
