"Yeah," says guitarist Ryan Shuck. "Everyone has an opinion on us."

As for the name Orgy, don't jump to the conclusion that there's only one meaning to that word. "Believe it or not, it's not a sexually-based name," says Jay. "It's a musical reference, y'know? We play a collage of sounds, you could say. But it's still hard to tell the lady at the bakery that you're in a band called Orgy and keep a straight face."

"We do have a sound that's really a mixture of a great many sounds," adds Amir. "The good thing about the name is that it sticks in your head."

"Ryan and I conceptualized Orgy only about six months before we were signed," says Jay. "We started writing songs together as soon as we hooked up. It started off in a garage, with Josh our co-producer. We just started throwing some rough shit together, and the next thing you know we're recording an album and making plans to tour with Korn!" .........

It all started in California only six months before their first album was released. The 5 person band decided to record their album right away "Playing clubs over and over for our friends. That would be pointless. We just went in and recorded who and what we are."

"We didn't want to let the cat out of the bag too early," offers bassist Paige Haley.

The group's look set them apart from other bands, their style was also unique and something new to the ears of Korn's Jonathan Davis. Orgy was the first band to sign to Korn's label, Elementree Records. "It's something fresh and new - that's what turns me on," says Davis. "I think they'll appeal to a lot of kids, a lot of different people. They're fashionable pretty-dudes, so all the chicks will dig 'em. And they're real heavy, so hopefully a lot of our friends will like them, too." As if the shock of being signed within six months wasn't enough, Orgy was brought onto the Family Values tour. This gave Orgy a taste of something they had never had before, mainstream exposure. The bands popularity grew, well known for their cover of Blue Monday. The band was getting more popular by the day.

Orgy released their first album, Candyass. The album containing a new style of music, fresh to the ears of any listener. "It's pretty much just all bullshit," laughs Jay. "We conjured up a bunch of lies and fairy tales."

"We recorded on a snow-capped mountain in Tahoe, in a huge cabin. It was along the lines of 'The Shining.' Cabin-fever set in after about 15 minutes, right after the truck left back for Los Angeles."

"It's all five-in-the-morning, pissed-off, fighting-with-each-other, kill-each-other kinda stuff. There's an innovative, futuristic feel to the music. Yeah, it's pretty cool." Paige contributes.

"It's a raw record," declares Ryan.

A true work of what Orgy was capable of, only after six short months of playing together. Ryan, the co-writer of Korn's hit song Blind says, "It's kind of like death pop. Our songs are all just slightly deranged, but I can definitely hear them on the radio."

"Don't look for any more meaning than that. Anything you can imagine is what we use to make a record," says guitar synth wizard Amir Derakh. "From old-school to state-of-the-art and everything in between."

Their new album, Vapor Transmission, has a very different sound from the first album. Some likeness' can be found, of course, but it is very different. Orgy amazed fans with their first album, but this album is a whole new experience. Despite what was said on mtv.com, orgy fans all over are enjoying and appreciating this new creation. It is pleasant to the ears of heavy medal fans and the lyrics are excellent.

The unique style of music and clothing keep Orgy one step ahead of the pack, always there with something unexpected to keep fans waiting to see what they can come up with next. And we can only wait to see what Orgy has in store for their fans.
