Over the past seven years, Auckland based four-piece OPSHOP has become one of New Zealand’s best-loved bands, crafting a constant stream of massive hits and two multi platinum-selling albums, You Are Here and Second Hand Planet.
Now OPSHOP has returned, releasing Pins & Needles, their first single in over a year and proving time together has done nothing but enhance the band’s ability at the song writing desk, and in the recording booth.

It seems an age now since OPSHOP found mainstream fame with singles such as No Ordinary Thing, Secrets, Levitate, and Saturated, all popular singles from the You Are Here Album, released in 2004.

However, those songs certainly hit the airwaves and lodged themselves firmly in New Zealand’s musical lexicon, providing the critical and commercial acclaim required to keep the band on target for a lengthy career at the top of the New Zealand charts.

Of course, it wasn’t without its moments of doubt! The band’s relentless touring and publicity schedule following the release of You Are Here led to some inevitable personnel changes (the current line-up has been together since 2005) and lead singer Jason Kerrison was determined to keep the album production closer to the band.
