Ep11: Hard to the core with Francis Frightful

In the late 1980s, few bands rocked harder than Opposition Party, the pioneering punk band that paved the way for other punk rockers, even as they blazed a trail into hardcore. With their hard-as-nails look – spiky hair, chains, leathers and jeans – the band raised eyebrows at every gig, pelting the audience with their ferocious and face-melting sound as they thundered through songs like Impending Death, Brain F**ked and Hack 'n' Slash. But how did Opposition Party get their start? What made them decide to steal Bon Jovi's booze? And why did they become a covers band – in Balestier? Find out as singer/guitarist Francis Frightful bares all (well, nearly) about Opposition Party and why, many years later, he can't wait to get rocking on stage again!PLUS! You can also stand a chance to win a copy of their album, ZOMBIFIED.
