Formed in late ‘86, OPPOSITION PARTY started out as a bunch of social misfits expressing their rage at society and the world in general through punk rock. They took their cue from early UK hardcore/punk bands such as THE EXPLOITED, GBH, CHAOS UK, BROKEN BONES, and many others from that era. History was made as OPPOSITION PARTY attained notoriety as Singapore’s first punk band. Although the early years saw them leaning towards the hardcore side of punk, the boys adopted a more metallic edge as the 80's came to a close; OPPOSITION PARTY'S music became faster, heavier and louder (not that they were soft before!). In the 90's, their unrelenting blend of thrash-metal and hardcore punk, coupled with an ‘in-your-face’ attitude, finally saw them emerged as one of Singapore's premier extreme music outfit. In the new millennium, OPPOSITION PARTY has decided to reach back to the past to bring back the raw energy of hardcore punk, while letting the varied influences of each member shine through. Many have tried to put a label on OPPOSITION PARTY'S music, but whatever it may be, the boys have stayed true to their roots as they crafted a sound they can call their own. OPPOSITION PARTY has gone through several line-up changes in its illustrious history before arriving at the present incarnation; with Francis Frightful, the original founder-member, leading the band with his voice and rhythm guitar, while Lee creates more mayhem on his 6-string and Kazz drives the music along on his bass. Alfe, a veteran of several rock bands, is sessioning as drummer. Not restricting themselves to just having shows in their homeland Singapore, OPPOSITION PARTY has ventured overseas by doing mini-tours and playing in Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and China and was part of major rock festivals held in Taiwan, Korea and Thailand. They have shared the stage before with MEGADETH, BIOHAZARD, NIGHTWISH, HOLY MOSES, amongst other notable acts from different parts of the world. Currently, performances in other parts of the world are being planned. OPPOSITION PARTY is regularly featured in regional and international releases, articles, and interviews and has made appearances on local and foreign TV/radio programs. The band’s music has also been used in movie soundtracks. Check out the artist's website: http://www.pulverised.net Track List: 1. Zombie 2. Taking Us For Fools 3. Ignorance 4. Brain Fucked 5.
