A lot can happen in three years, but the more things change the more they stay the same for OpShop as they steady themselves for the release of sophomore album 'Second Hand Planet'.

Far from being anything negative, that of course is good news for fans of the band's 2004 debut album 'You Are Here', which achieved platinum status in New Zealand on the back of a steady stream of high rotate singles.

Songs like 'No Ordinary Thing', 'Secrets' and 'Saturated' won favour across both major and independent radio formats, quickly entering New Zealand's musical lexicon and offering the impression that these old school friends were more old school than their short time in the national (and international) spotlight may have suggested.
