Orange Juice

Punk rock
Punk rock

Orange Juice is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Buzzcocks, The Byrds, The Velvet Underground, Josef K and Simple Minds. Those roots explain a lot about how Orange Juice arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Josef K, Edwyn Collins, Prefab Sprout, Felt and The Monochrome Set, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Drums, Josef K, The Smiths, Strawberry Switchblade and Hatcham Social, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Orange Juice, reaching back through Buzzcocks and forward to The Drums.

Background

Orange Juice were a Scottish jangle pop band founded in the Glasgow suburb of Bearsden in 1976. Initially known as the Nu-Sonics, they changed their name to Orange Juice in 1979, and took inspiration from contemporary punk bands including Subway Sect, Television, and Buzzcocks and 1960s acts such as the Byrds and the Velvet Underground. Musically, the band brought together styles and genres that often appeared incongruous, for example, country, disco and punk. Though their line-up changed numerous times, lead singer and guitarist Edwyn Collins was a constant presence and the 'face' of the band.
