    OPPENHEIM-WHO?
    With a style that combines the manipulative songwriting smarts of Daft Punk with the exuberant power-pop of early Weezer, Belfast-based duo Oppenheimer are set to restore the three-minute pop song to its rightful throne.

    Shaun Robinson and Rocky O’Reilly first met at an Icelandic electronica show and soon realised they shared a love of kraut-rock, synthesizers and soundscapes. Recording lush, multi-layered music was initially their escape from a rainy Irish winter. Writing summer-pop songs took their minds to other places, the neon sparkle of Times Square, the blue skies of California... they suddenly felt a lot brighter about their hometown. Oppenheimer was formed and they began to record.

    The band’s Northern Irish roots were reinforced by the endorsement of renowned DJ David Holmes, who loaned the band equipment and by Ash’s Tim Wheeler who has also collaborated with the band, appearing as guest vocalist on early track “Orchid”. Oppenheimer’s debut self titled album was released in 2006 by the acclaimed US indie label Bar-None. The band have recently shared stages with names like Tilly and The Wall, Architecture In Helsinki, Regina Spektor, Hot Chip and supported They Might Be Giants on a giant 50 date stateside tour. To add to this success they have also had songs featured on Ugly Betty and hip new U.S comedy Gossip Girl.
