It’s been 3 years since Code Orange torched the heavy music scene with their spectacular Underneath album. The world and indeed the musical landscape have changed a lot in that time, but so has Code Orange. Far more than a band, they are a seemingly ever evolving entity that goes wherever the art takes them…

Delivering on…
Since their reunion in 2014, Collapsed Lung have committed to doing things their own way at their own pace. Content with performing for the sheer fun of it rather than recreating the success of mid-90s Top 20 hit “Eat My Goal”, the self-proclaimed “Zero Hours Band” released their comeback album in 2018. Following a period…
