Wormburner: official website; myspace; "A Wormburner show has much in common with amphetamine-fueled soul revivals, if such a thing ever existed. In a world of chin-stroking art rock Radioheads and junk-addled Babyshambles stumblebums, itâ€™s refreshing to find a band like Wormburner who so clearly believes in the power of the classic pop song to lift a room full of people clear off its foundation." - New York Press

The Orion Experience: official website; myspace; The eclectic quintet, fronted by former Kitty in the Tree singer Orion Simprini, is fresh on the scene. Having formed in January 2005 their eager excitement explodes from each track on the debut album. Their carefree, positive vibe recalls late '60s and early '70s songwriting, spiked with sweet harmonies and toe-tapping beats. If The Orion Experience doesn't make you want to leap from your chair and dance, you might want to check your pulse.

For Orion, who handpicked each member of the group for their personalities, the band's camaraderie is the key element to their solid sound. "Every individual is important, but put together, they create a powerful, positive energy," Orion said of The Orion Experience, which, despite bearing his name he also calls "more of a collective than one person."

With overflowing energy and bravado, The Orion Experience is ready to revive rock n roll's exuberance, and slap a smile on the face of even the most self-important indie rocker.
