Clay Allison was an American psychedelic rock group formed in Los Angeles during the 1980s. The band later evolved and rebranded as **Opal**, marking a significant shift in their sonic direction and artistic identity within the alternative rock landscape.
The group's work bridged experimental rock and avant-garde sensibilities, contributing to the broader post-punk and alternative music movements of their era. Their transition to Opal represented a creative reinvention that allowed the band to explore new musical territories and expand their influence within the underground music scene.
