Artist description Indie rock influenced punksters. Perhaps some kids call it emo. The boys and girls swoon. The songs are sweet, honest to God catchy pop goodness.

Artist History the operation got together over three years ago, originally called "sans culottes." moving away from his old band, "pensive" (with other members joining "the juliana theory" and "zao"), our guitar player marty started the band with our bassist derek and a guy named danny papa. when danny left to do "element101" full time, our singer/guitar player joined. later on, after the band recorded a cd called "another ten true summers" on burnt toast vinyl, the drummer matt left to take a position as a full time youth pastor, and i came in (my name is aaron). since then, both my brother mike and our friend chris, both amazing musicians and good friends to us all, have started playing with us.we came out with a 5 song e.p. in june of 2000. it was released by burnt toast vinyl and goatboy records. we recorded it at mountainside studios. the artwork was done by an amazing artist named max morresi. if you'd like to order cd's, t-shirts, stickers buttons, d.i.y. movies made by band members, or anything else, do visit burnt toast or e-mail me (well, anything but cd's only i could provide). over the past couple months, we've piled into the van to go on a couple of tours. playing mainly with the juliana theory, but also with element101, rainer maria, hangnail, zao, garrison, further seems forever, the movie life, onelinedrawing, etc...we also had the privilege of playing twice at the cornerstone festival. decapolis.com said, "The Operation rocked the Decapolis Stage on mid day Thursday to a rather nice size crowd. This East Coast indie rock band seemed to be the talk of the festival."you'll have to forgive the shameless self promotion. all this name-dropping and such, it means very little to me, if i may be honest. mind you, we are all extremely dedicated (to the band, to getting out and playing as much as possible, touring and improving and meeting new friends and recording more music), but our greatest hope for the band is that we glorify God. sometimes i wonder if we do, as i notice that we lose focus and care more about nonsense that doesn't matter. but, we are trying, and, though we're not perfect, i think trying is better than not trying.
