   About the opposite sex

Video created by Eric Helton, Line of Sight Pictures.

Biography:
The Opposite Sex has been described as "majestic, powerful, and ready to take on the current scene with rare fury"- PostPunk.com. With the release of their 2009 EP, Live + Burn, The Opposite Sex breathes new life to its dark, post punk sound with elements of pop and 60's psych.

Assembled in 2004, the band has gained a reputation for its swelling intensity, tribal rhythms and bittersweet melodies. A recent live show was reviewed by Big Takeover Magazine, calling the band “Arresting post-punk complete with a slightly saucy glam stomp.” Obscure Sound characterized the group as having “a sound deeply layered with pulsating guitars and a tight rhythm section led by an infectious bass tremolo, lead singer Shawn Helton is like a melodramatically electrifying combination of post-punk legends Mark Burgess and Ian McColluch.”

Following the release of their self titled EP, the band was selected to play Drop Dead Music Festival in 2006 at the Knitting Factory in New York alongside headliners Lene Lovich and Cinema Strange. Completing their first full-length record Violent Heartstrings in 2007, they performed at a series of venues on the east coast, in addition to playing both the Popnoise Music Festival and Winterfest in Philadelphia.

With their third album “Live + Burn”, The Opposite Sex appeals to a broader audience, while still maintaining a dark persona. “Leave it All Behind” begins with an icy, emotional verse that breaks into a catchy, unforgettable chorus. For fans of their previous material, songs like "Is That You?" and “Frozen Heart/ Frozen Mind” depict strange anxieties, over layered textures of aggressive guitars and drums. “Live + Burn” invites the listener to share a personal experience with a little nostalgia.
