Opel is a band from the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. Opel has had several members since they began in 2005, but their current lineup is the best ever! Since adding organ and saxophone to the band, Opel's new sound has been described as "reminiscent of 60's psychodelic rock with a touch of R&B flavor", but that description isn't really all that accurate. So listen for yourself. Currently the songs on this page are from the band's first official album, "Strange Encounters". This 13 track was released in early 2008. Listen to their music and leave the band a comment about what you've heard. Check back soon for more updates and for new music from Opel!

Peace,
-Opel
