ORCHID

About Me

Orchid was formed back in 2000, the brainchild of Mark Whittle and long time friend Kev Sullivan. With the later introduction of Marks brother Simon, switching from guitar to bass Orchid's music went from strength to strength. After several live shows and rewrites the songs that you hear today were developed with patience and care to provide the raw and real sound that Orchid pride themselves on.With the introduction of a new singer in January 2006, the sound progressed quickly with powerful vocals and meaningfull and in your face lyrics.All Hailing from Bradford, Orchid relaunched themselves onto the Bradford music scene in May and have not looked back since.With a Raw and gritty sounding set, Orchid established themselves quickly as a force to be reckoned with, especially as we are only content in producing and writing our own material. Dont liken us to anyone, For we are Orchid and are Here to stay!!! My ImageShack Page
