i see this band: a) getting a totally rad online street team b) going on a billion tours with big bands c) putting out a record full of re-hashed nu-emo/pop punk bullshit d) lots of 16 year olds talking about how sweet they are 8 months from now it's boring when it's this predictable.

you think you know, but you have no idea.

Someone (August 14, 2003)

you forgot the fact that the label only signed them so they could get 2 million dollars from the major label who is going to want to buy them.

Well, can't say I'm surprised, but Orange Island is a good, hardworking band. I'm glad they're going to get more recognition now.

yeah, they are soooooo deserving and such hardworkers. they put out their first full length like a year ago and went on tour with brand new. that's the definition of "hard working" in punk rock. a whole 18 months worth. wow.

Someone (August 15, 2003)

They toured for years by themselves and with plenty of small unknown bands. They used to tour with Brand New way before anyone cared about them, and only continued to tour with them because they are good friends. They are an extremely hardworking band. dont be so quick to judge.

yeah, they've been around for at least 2 whole years. that's super old school.

Someone (August 16, 2003)

actually they've been around for almost 5 years. no one said anything about being old school. Stop giving bands shit, its not like anyone is telling you that you have to listen to their music. If you dont like them, thats your business. its just immature to go around slandering on the internet. Go start your own band and do somthing.

Someone (August 16, 2003)

will you shut the fuck up with this "five years" bullshit. what? did they MEET five years ago? who cares. they weren't putting out records and touring five years ago, and that is what "been around" means. i met my friends in grade school, and we've always messed around and did songs and played shows here and there, but if tomorrow we actually got serious and put out a real record and went out on a real tour, i wouldnt expect people to say "yeah, they've worked so hard, they've been around for 10 years!" you're an idiot.

Someone (August 17, 2003)

This whole argument is lame. Who gives a shit what band is on what label. Some people obviously like the band, some people dont. Let it be.

Someone (August 17, 2003)

yay yay orange izanld gots sizend. moron!

Someone (August 16, 2003)

The band is hardworking, no doubt. However, they are not good, at all. I've seen this band many times over the years; they are not good. Their songs are boring, they're not very good live. I wish them the best but they're completely mediocre.

Someone (August 16, 2003)

people are hatin on orange island big time. let the boys have their fun, they've worked hard for it, and the rock my socks off, so there. dorks. haha

Someone (August 16, 2003)

you must have some pretty loose socks.

Someone (August 18, 2003)

if by hardworking you mean go on tour with big bands, write boring records that have been done a million times before, look cute, and have a big shot manager... then yeah, they're hardworking. by any other standard they would be a bullshit band who go signed to a major label way too soon. so disposable. joke.

and by major i mean an indie label who in the past have typically shipped bands off to a major. you thought you could grab me on semantics, didnt you? asshole.

Someone (August 18, 2003)

They have a big shot manager? Im sure that would be news to them...since they dont have one. These guys have spent the past 4 years touring the States, breaking down 3 vans, having a revolving bass player, and they've worked their asses off. So quit your bitching you whiny bitch.

Someone (September 4, 2003)

jealous?
