The Opposition

The Opposition were a South London-based post-punk music group that welded the impassioned urgency of early Getting rid of Joke towards the graceful but pained atmospheric flourishes from the Chameleons. Marcus Bell, Tag Long, and Ralph Hall created the music group in 1979 and experienced their first solitary, HARDLY ANY Glory, released through their personal Double Eyesight imprint by the finish of that 12 months. A short-lived cope with the Ariola label (Japan) created a second solitary in 1980 that resulted in a agreement with Disk AZ. Breaking the Silence, the band’s self-produced debut full-length, premiered in 1981. Three LPs for Charisma — Intimacy, Guarantees, and Empire Times — adopted in close succession between 1983 and 1985. An extended hiatus for the group ensued from then on, and Lengthy and Bell splintered off to record slick pop as So, a aspect project of kinds that spawned a strike in 1988 with “Are You Sure.” The Opposition resumed for 1990s Blue Alice Blue and 1993’s Battle Begins in the home prior to splitting up. The Netherlands-based Crimson Sun label released Breaking the Silence on Compact disc in 2001 with boosted sound and reward paths. The group also convened to get a third period and released a fresh record in 2002.
