Fizzy Orange are a band creating a buzz. Describing their sound as an analogue amalgamation of ’60s songwriting, ’70s studio techniques and the ’80s home recording revolution, the Dublin six-piece first appeared in 2020, and has continued to carve a unique sound since. Building their audience by playing iconic venues and festivals across Ireland and more recently over the sea, these consistent sellouts are well worth keeping an eye on.
Fizzy Orange’s most recent release is the energised single ‘CHOO CHOO’, the final peak into their debut EP ‘Fizzy Orange in Mono’ before its release later this month. With a foundation of a roaring distorted guitar riff that sets the high-octane atmosphere in motion, the track introduces a gorgeous nostalgic glow, bringing in gleaming 60s harmony and unstoppable boogie woogie piano. These timeless influences grow into a vibrant soundscape, full of boisterous youthful exuberance across the performance.
The band reflect on the track, “We first played this tune during a writing session in an attic in co. Leitrim last year. Kev (lead singer) had penned the lyrics about the experience of using our local train service in Dublin. The Dublin-Area-Rapid-Transit or the DART as it’s better known. Always late, northbound or southbound, we all got his experience straight away.
It was originally played as a fairly stripped-back blues. But once that distorted repetitive guitar riff came in from Jack (lead guitar) we knew this track had to come up to that energy. We recorded it a few days later in Sonic Studios back in Dublin. It’s our heaviest playing so far, the bass and drums could have filled out the track by themselves! Complemented with classic boogie-woogie piano playing and 60’s vocal harmonies, our own style and sound really starts to creep in.”
