Artist description It's not easy to make a short description of the band. All musicians have different musical influences and so the resulting sound is very independent and unique ... a music that's still developing. Each of the musician is free enough to play his own feelings and stories and is opened enough to react to each other’s play and even able to ornament the others' ideas. Not only the outstanding vocals of Monique Maasen, a singer with incredible authority, makes ORANGE to an unbelievable experience, but the whole unity of this group ... especially their extraordinary live performance.

Music Style powerful produced RockPop from Germany!

Musical Influences As you can see at the diffuse influences the musicians have got, it's not easy to say something about general musical influences at all! At this moment ORANGE seems to sound like "Blondie meets Oasis"!
