Biography
Formed in late 1986, 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 band 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 emerge 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. From Crust to Death, many have tried to put a label on Opposition Party’s music, but whatever it may be, the band has stayed true to their roots as they crafted a sound they can call their own.
