Founded in the late 90s’, orange is in brings together a variety of disparate influences – including 60s pop, 80’s post punk and rootsy Texas rock – to create a sound that is uniquely their own. It is energetic rock with a decidedly mature sensibility.

A blend of pop hooks, hard-driving rhythms and a rootsy edge, the band has already won fans in Houston and around the Texas music scene. The quintet includes vocalist George Kovacik, bassist Jeff Balke, guitarist Chris Rogers and drummer Steve Salazar. All four members are veterans of Houston’s live music scene with diverse talents and boundless energy.

In true Texas fashion, Come and Take It, the latest release from orange is in, dares listeners to leave the pop music herd behind and head for the greener pastures of hard-driving American traditional rock.

The six-song CD builds on the solid foundation of the band’s 2006 full-length release, Another Lame Semi-Tragedy, while simultaneously moving the music into new territory.

Both CD’s have received praise from local media including the Houston Chronicle and Houston Press. Another Lame Semi-Tragedy was named one of Houston’s top 20 releases of 2006 by Houston Calling and Come and Take It was listed in the top 10 of 2007.
