about
The Mission Orange combine equal parts Garage rock, Indie and an experimental nature to create a sound unique and uncommon for a two-piece. Drawing their influences from Dungen to Simon and Garfunkel and everything in between, they have been able to evolve an original style while still being able to be compared to bands like The Black Keys, Failure, Built To Spill and Nirvana. KEXP’s RJ Cubarrubia may have summed them and their live show up the best when he said, “Both members’ impressive technical skill and high energy drove their live performance, creating a unique mixture of the best parts of 90’s Midwest indie-emo garage rock, punk, and progressive rock.” Lead singer and guitarist Marcus Nevitt and Drummer Sam Hutchens form a high energy, full sound that rarely comes from a two-piece and are known for their surprisingly loud and engaging live shows. Casey Catherwood of The Stranger described The Mission Orange as “stripped down to nothing but a nasty guitar sound, tight drumming, and a heavyweight aural display reminiscent of Seattle's glory days of grunge.” They have quickly become a recognizable figure in Northwest music, garnering articles and reviews from local music magazines and newspapers as well as landing them live in-studio performances and radio play on college stations like 89.3 KUGS FM, Bellingham and top Commercial stations like 107.7 KNDD FM “The End,” Seattle. This has also landed them in the EMP Sound Off! Competition, and a spot for two consecutive year
