Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

Bournemouth Daily Echo published the following short review of 'Life Under The Sun' in yesterday's newspaper under the "What's On Live!" section;


"Poole alt-rockers Oposium deliever their debut 12-track album, and boy have their creative juices flowed. Epic and accomplished, Life Under The Sun showcases the quartets musicianship in abundance and its clear that they have pushed themselves creatively. The band successfully manages to pull off songs that live up to the sheer magnitude of their soundscapes."

Oposium join the bill for the next "1" concert in Bournemouth alongside bands Bosh and Tom Whitman on 23rd May 2009. The event is to raise the profile and fundraise for the new I*EAT charity, founded by Jessica Griffiths whose husband Dave Griffiths is the lead singer for Bosh and one of the "1" organisers.

Oposium were down in Bournemouth tonight giving a radio interview to presenter Tim Heywood on Hope FM 90.1, pictured here all together after the show. Unfortunately our recording system went down, but we'll put the interview online after the repeat this coming Sunday. Oposium would just like to thank Tim for having the band on his show and no doubt you'll be hearing more of upcoming Oposium ventures on Hope FM in the near future.
