About Me

Orius are a hard rock band hailing from Stourbridge, West Midlands.

The band have toured extensively across the UK throughout the last three years, only stopping to record and produce the debut album. Combining energetic live shows with a no nonsense attitude they have picked up an extensive following and reputation for stealing the show and captivating audiences.

With the release of Us V You and the first single Lets Call It Art, Orius exploded onto the rock scene with their foot stomping, head banging joyride.

Orius are now putting the finishing touches on a new EP, "Me And The Girl", due for release in June 2008 followed by further touring.

Orius have arrived!
