Independent Artist Of The Week :: Orion

January 20th 2015

FBi Radio

With a constellation of killer demos, Orion is lighting up our walkmans again.

Out of Sydney, and made up of members from Oily Boys and Whores, Orion are a good step ahead of the old pub band, but are sticking with the energetic and unassuming nature. Distant beats and guitar heavy melody, mashed into garage-pop is their vibe; if you add a little bit of 80’s fervour and a touch of melodramatic electric know-how.

Meet as proof their four track demo EP. Unhindered by anything but the fun that comes from making tunes, it is glorious wind down/wind up/anything you need type-o-tunage with the edge of a band that’s been all across what it’s doing since their time in-utero. The EP is available as a Bandcamp pay-what-you will, or on cassette in case you find that sticker ridden walkman you loved more than anything else when you’re back at your mum’s house next weekend.

Tune in to Up For It every Tuesday morning to find out our newest independent artist of the week!
