Ellesmere Port. Home of the Vauxhall Astra, oil refineries, and now of Oranj Son, one of the most exciting and talked-about bands to emerge from the North West of England in 2015.

Comprising Kieran Linford (guitar, vocals), Lew Yii (percussion), Brad Welch (bass) and Matt Linford (keys, guitar), their brand of infectious and hypnotic groove-laden rock brings to mind classic East and West Coast US Psychedelia, Northern European Electro and 80's Post Punk - influences they wear as proudly as Phil Daniels wears his parka.

Oranj Son are the latest band to join the roster of Edge Hill University’s The Label Recordings, the team who discovered Hooton Tennis Club.

“Music is about to get interesting again....”

"Working with Oranj Son on their debut single, has been a wonderful creative journey."
Carl Hunter, Producer

The Pacers draw their influences from the sixties Psych/Garage scene, mixing it up with their own unique ideas to create unforgettable and energetic live performances in the same vein as The Stooges and The Stones, with a healthy dose of freakout psychedelia.

The band formed in the late summer of 2013 when Alexander Friedl and guitarist Harry Stam met under what they describe as "mysterious circumstances". With a shared interest in all things 60's and a desire to escape the monotony of everyday life, they duo picked up their guitars and began writing songs.

A former bandmate of Harry, bass player Jay Creswell, was next to join The Pacers, closely followed by drummer Jamie Yuan. With the line up complete, the band set about making a name for themselves on the underground music scene, playing a string of venues primarily in north and east London which have earned them a loyal and ever increasing fanbase. 'Losing Touch' is their debut single.

'Losing Touch' has been rising up the Jamsterdam Radio charts and can be heard during the New Music show airing daily at 8am/8pm EST.
