Orangetree began their musical journey in the spring of 1995, influenced by the sounds of ska & punk rock. A couple of years later former MU330 frontman Jason Nelson joined the band, leading the troops to their successfull debut "Fixing Stupid" released on Jump Up! Records in 1999. Time has progressed since their debut, and the band's musical tastes have changed as did their style, transforming their ska/punk sound into horn-driven Arena Rock! Orangetree has gone back to the roots of guitar rock, yet these tracks are still mixed with punk beats and that high-pitched pop/soul vocal style, with just a hint of ska riff'ed in for good measure. Over the past year Orangetree has built a large Midwest fan-base (especialy in St Louis and Chicago) playing with the likes of Rancid, NOFX, ALL, The Specials, Catch 22, Johnny Socko, Alkaline Trio, Mustard Plug, The Blue Meanies, Hot Stove Jimmy and Telegraph, and look to take the country by storm in 2000. When it comes to hard 80's rock that's still punk as hell, look no further than Orangetree! For Fans of: Fishbone, NOFX, Hum, MU330, Less Than Jake, The Hippos, The Stereo, Telegraph, Green Day, and any fan of 80's Arena Rock.
