BIO:
To mirror the identity of the times, The Opposite Sex express a shocking vision of dark beauty in a world to come. They are a post-punk band with a dark pop sense. Their live performances are a charged exploration of theater & sound.
The band has been characterized as having an "atmosphere of lurking hope, with an air of excitement " by Drop Dead magazine. At a recent live show BigTakeover magazine described their performance as "arresting post-punk, complete with a slightly saucy glam stomp".
Upon their e.p. release in late 2005, they were invited to play Drop Drop Dead Festival 4 (nyc), as well as Winterfest '07 & Popnoise 3 in Philadelphia. Displaying the band's versatility they recently performed a spring fashion event for the well known designer Betsey Johnson.
Our self titled e.p. and full length album (Violent Heartstrings) are available from the following distributors:
