Now, this is one deceptive band name, An op shop is a store full of cheap second-hand trash and treasure, but these New Zealanders are all about big, shiny, arena rock. Their 2007 debut, You Are Here, introduced the quartet's U2-via-Coldplay approach, focusing on stadium-strafing guitars, heart-on-sleeve lyrics and massed woah-oh-oh choruses. They went even more widescreen on the follow-up album, from the title (Until the End of Time) to the dynamics, which were aimed squarely at the back row of arenas.
