Opshop are a New Zealand rock band who formed in 2002. They released their first album, You Are Here in 2004, their second album Second Hand Planet in 2007, and their third album Until The End of Time, which debuted at number one on the New Zealand Album Charts, in 2010.

About

In 2008, the band won the 2008 APRA Silver Scroll for Song of the Year for their song "One Day".

Jason Kerrison, the lead member of the group, appeared on The Masked Singer NZ as a tuatara, winning the first season.

In 2011, Kerrison built a bunker after watching the 2009 film 2012. He said that John Cusack's performance was convincing, causing him to think the end of the world was near.
