Original Material

We currently have one song "finished", tentatively named "Over my shoulder" although still refered to as it's working title "Sad Song" amoung us band members and friends of band members. A recent recording of it is available on our myspace page but be aware that it is a bedroom recording so the quality isn't great.

We have a lot of other songs in the works, some further along than others. If you're looking for some kind of genre information it's a bit difficult, we like similar but different music in and around rock and metal and as such that's what we will bring into Opium Toad. Generally we are Rock/Metal/Alternative but anyone who knows much of music knows that those terms don't mean much given the massive spectrum that the genres of rock and metal contain. We all like rock and metal so naturally what we play is going to be around that but we don't plan on limiting ourselves out of genres like funk because we love to hear that stuff too and we like to experiment

Covers

Currently these are the songs we have in our "repitoire"
Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
Apple Tree - Wolfmother
Cavement Rejoice - The Bags
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
