Background notes
Archive material and source history
Opshop formed in Timaru, New Zealand in 1996 with Jason Kerrison on vocals and guitar, Matt Treacy on drums, and Clint Harris on bass. They released their debut album 'You Are Here' in 1999, followed by 'Second Hand Planet' in 2004. That second album included 'Awaken,' which became their breakout single.
Their songs like 'Being,' 'Breathing Space,' and 'Maybe' often dealt with personal reflection and emotional themes. In 2006, they faced criticism for using a sample of a traditional Māori chant in 'No Way Back,' which led to an apology from the band.
Opshop released 'Peninsula' in 2019. Their music has been described as blending rock, pop, and acoustic elements, with lyrics that touch on self-discovery and vulnerability.
