THE OPS

It has to groove...

About Me

We've all been around the block a few times. This band started up in July of 05, based off of Matt, Amy, and Grifs old ska band. Matt and Kevin both hold BAs in musical performance, Chris and Jeff have been playing music together for most of their adult lives, Grif has been in bands for the last nine years, and Amy has been a front-woman for the last four years.It is impossible to list who influences us as a band. Some of us love ska, some of us love classical, and a couple of us love electronic music. Together the one thing we all share is a love for killer reggae grooves.
