Picture by Claire Hewer

Brooklyn’s OPTO S remind me of filthy subway automobiles, John Carpenter’s Escape From New York, and streets at nighttime shiny with latest rainfall. Musically, they sound indebted to Suicide and the No Wave bands of the early 80s. Which is acceptable contemplating their title refers MTA subway nomenclature specifying a sort of practice operation—they’re a New York band by means of and thru.

We caught OPTO S earlier this month opening for the mighty Oneida at Bushwick venue Rubulad.

A number of years later now, the band are taking part in some promising new materials, together with “Lifeless Skunk,” “Lucy 2,” and “Going Down the Unsuitable Path.” You heard them right here first! In the meantime, the band is within the midst of performing some stay dates. Catch them quickly in Philadelphia on March 1st at Century Bar and again in NYC on March twenty ninth at Berlin.
