Alternative rock band Oposium have today announced that they will be releasing new music early next year.
A spokesman for the band said today that the group have been been writing new material for the past couple of months and are getting ready to release the new tracks. In a move that emulates many of todays top music producers, the band will probably be releasing one track a month for 6 months.
Oposium became known last year as the band who set their piano on fire during live performances. The group have also been known to sail pianos into the sea and it’s quite possible that 2011 will see yet more piano “activity”. A source close to the band said that “the band are very pleased with the new music that is coming out of recent sessions. They seem very relaxed about the whole thing and the music is benefitting as a result”.
