What matters instead is that The Orbz craft woven, entertaining and addictive pop-wave post-punk rock music. Melodically, the music of The Orbz invites obsession, movement, dance; lyrically, it’s contemplative, introspective, inspiring. Says frontman Jason Robinson, “Sometimes there comes a song where you can’t separate yourself from it; it gets lodged in your brain somehow, and you can’t stop thinking about it. That song. I want to write that song.”

“We operate under the belief that everybody has a story to be told and heard,” affirms guitarist Ken Adelman. “My main concern is to write what is true to me and express my thoughts into music. Music should resemble one’s life.”

As Jason Robinson stepped into the vocalist role, “I was given the reins and told to re-imagine them as my own,” he says now, embracing The Orbz’ constant challenge: Writing music in different formats than yesterday. “Each day,” says Ken, “it’s like having more paint brushes and paint to use.”

The guys are about to celebrate the self-release of their sophomore CD, Stop! The Reporters Will See. Whereas the upcoming album is about being sick of the state of things, says Jeremy, “our brand new material is about moving forward with our own designs for the future.”

“The music industry is squeezing stations to produce more with less,” Jason says. “The Orbz don’t even fit into this. We’re total indie in the old sense of the word: We do our own website, we do our own t-shirts, we do our own posters, and our first full-length album is set to be self-released.”

Says Jeremy, “We’re non-hipsters playing hip indie music, almost by happenstance.”

“2009 is our year,” grins Jason. “Just wait.”
