Opshop is a New Zealand rock band who formed in 2002.[3] They released their first album, You Are Here in 2004,[4] their second album Second Hand Planet in 2007,[5] and their third album Until The End of Time, which debuted at number one on the New Zealand Album Charts, in 2010.[6]
In 2008, the band won the 2008 APRA Silver Scroll for Song of the Year for their song "One Day".[7][8]
Jason Kerrison, the lead member of the group, appeared on The Masked Singer NZ as a Tuatara, winning the first season. In 2011 (leading up to 2012), Jason Kerrison built a bunker after watching the 2009 film 2012. He said that John Cusack's performance was convincing, forcing him to think the end of the world was upon us.[9]
