Mad Oppy was a six-member private indie band based out of New York City.  It’s the type of band that you would see in a local coffee house or small club watering hole/venue.  They have some interesting moments, like the edgy lounge rocker ‘Maybe It’s Better’, which works in a solid guitar solo and then the urgent vibed title song.  They utilize the saxophone in some of their songs.  Album Closer ‘Blackout’ is a crazy whacked out tune with a catchy melody.  Other noteworthy songs include the catchy opener ‘It’s Only A Matter Of Time’ and ‘Sweet Americans’.  Beware though - there’s a couple lame jobs here, like the wimped-out sax infused ‘Walking On The Street’ and ‘She’s A Singer’.
