Over time, it’s flourished and reached every nook and cranny of the world. And with this, various post-punk bands came into existence too. Post-punk bands have an experimental approach to music; they include various elements in their songs including punk rock, new wave, and electronic music. Opus Kink is one such fast-emerging and a highly promising post-punk band that has produced some incredibly catchy songs recently. Today we will find out more about Opus Kink - an emerging band that has the potential to become the next big thing in the music industry.

They are from Brighton, England, and have dreams of becoming one of the "hottest" post-punk bands. The band consists of six members, including Angus, Fin, Sam, Jazz, Johny, and Jed.

How did Opus Kink members meet?
Similar to their music, the story of how the Opus Kink members actually met is quite interesting and unique. The band's lead singer, Angus Rogers, used to be a babysitter to another band member, Jazz, and his sister. At that time, Angus was 15 and Jazz was 10 years old. Both of them grew up in the same hometown and used to play together a lot. Another member of the Opus Kink band, Johny, used to teach music to Fin and Jazz in college. However, the three of them didn't have the usual student-music-teacher relationship. They would often for big night outs together and have long practice sessions.
