Opus Kink announce debut album, The Sweet Goodbye
Brighton-born punk outfit Opus Kink have announced their debut album, The Sweet Goodbye, and shared new single "Come Over, Do Me Wrong".
The Sweet Goodbye follows two previous EPs, 'Til The Stream Runs Dry released in 2022 and My Eyes, Brother! released in 2023, with "Come Over, Do Me Wrong" being the band's first new music of 2026.
Discussing the new song, vocalist and guitarist Angus Rogers shares: "Half of any good thing is its proximity to its end; half of any good thing is the reason it cannot be yours. ‘Come Over, Do Me Wrong’ is a song about the hallucinogenic qualities of a doomed love affair and its toxic allure, the mad philosophical leap of ‘I don’t care what you do as long as you do it to me'."
Opus Kink are set to return to the stage for a handful of festival performances in the coming months, including appearances at Wanderfal, Foul Weather, and Bearded Theory, alongside a UK/EU autumn headline tour, which will feature their biggest-ever headline yet at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on 26 November.
