Member Since: 5/8/2006 Debut Album “Conversations†is a band at the height of their powers. Driving riffs and synths are mixed with a heavy, taughtrhythm section,all overlaid with the unique and powerful melodic vocals of Jay Sutton. Rock music with hooks to spare…From the opening ultrainfectious riffs of “Drive†to the anthemic stomp of “I’m A Class A Reason To Put Down Your Needle Part Iâ€, from thedriving guitarof new single “Check in, Check out,†to the epic melodies of “Save Yourself.†Ortega are a band who have established their ownsound throughtheir great songwriting.

Every so often a band emerges as if from nowhere armed with a depth of songwriting that is simply stunning. EnterOrtega…
The six piece from Cannock in the Midlands have been doing what bands do – learning their craft (both live and on record), becomingnames on thelocal circuit (selling out their first DIY demos) and building up to their debut release – a single/ep through Co Star Entertainmentset releasedin late 2007.
Ortega have proved themselves an accomplished live act. Regularly selling out venues in their home base of the Midlands, theband have alsosupported acts such as Men Women and Children, Dopamine, Lights and Sounds and The Blackout. Ortega will be touring the UK tosupport therelease of the album.
