BULLETS OF ORANGE SHOOT TO #125 ON CMJ: Debut after less than one month

Bullets of Orange, the indie alternative band that has lead the pack in the indie music scene, rocketed up the CMJ charts in an astoundingly quick leap.

NASHVILLE, TENN...8/06/02...In less than 4 weeks following their add date, Nashville-based alternative rock band Bullets of Orange debuted on the CMJ Top 200 chart at #125 the last week of June. Proof that authentic quality, genuine passion and remarkable talent are enough to garner attention from true music lovers, the independent band has made impressive strides since their June 3 add date, where they were the #4 most added (and #1 most added independent band), directly behind highly successful label-backed names like DJ Shadow and Dirty Vegas. They were also in the Top 30 of 54 stations, many of which are in key market cities, and received regular airplay from over 150 stations.

In a time where far too much music is created for the sole purpose of selling or cheaply entertaining, Bullets of Orange seek to channel the constant search for something more, something full of truth, depth and raw emotion, through their music. With each member coming from diverse musical backgrounds, they combine their collective expertise to create a sound exploding with aggressively surging guitars, assertive rhythms and intriguing melodies.

Perhaps they say it best in their mission statement:

"This isn't exactly the way we all thought the world was going to be. We didn't know it was going to be so hard to find love, to learn the difference between right and wrong, or even to remember that there is one, not to mention the stuff in between. We didn't know it was going to be so hard to make our voices heard, and much harder to make them count. What we did know was that music made us feel better when we felt good, and when we felt bad, at least we knew that there was someone else out there who felt the same. When we put a record on, put our heads between the speakers and crank up the volume, we find our escape. When we're in that club, feeling the drums and bass in our chests it's a different place, like we're doing something, living something. Music may not save the world, but it might just remind us that the world can be saved."

Bullets of Orange fall dates will include New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Atlanta, Raleigh NC, Columbus OH,Indianapolis and St. Louis MO as well as many others.

Earlier this summer, Bullets of Orange played in New York City at Arlene Grocery and the world famous CBGB, as well as Uptown Mix in Nashville and many other dates around the country.
