Orange & Lemons
Type:
Artist / Band / Musician
One of the most popular indie guitar-pop rock groups in the Philippines. Orange and Lemons guitar jangle and upfront updating of catchy, melodic beat groups like The Smiths and The Beatles earned the Bulacan-based quartet a substantial critical and popular following.
Clementine (vocals, lead guitars) and Mcoy Fundales (vocals, rhythm guitars) formed Orange and Lemons in July, 1999 and later joined in by brothers JM Del Mundo (bass) and Ace Del Mundo (drums) in February, 2003. From the outset, the group cultivated a distinctly English image whilst blending Filipino sensibilities in their songs.
From their DIY and indie beginnings, they consistently earned strong reviews with Love in the Land of Rubber Shoes and Dirty Ice Cream even before they fully broke into the mainstream and eventually sign with Universal Records in 2005. By the end of the 2005 they released Strike Whilst The Iron Is Hot, spawning a number of hit singles that brought about massive success and recognition.
MOONLANE GARDENS, their most brooding and groundbreaking album was released on June, 2007 amidst controversies of disbanding which later became official. Due to individual and musical differences Clementine and Mcoy Fundales parted ways a month after their successful series of shows in the United States. Clementine later on formed a 3 piece underground indie-pop band called The Camerawalls while Mcoy focused on more commercial projects. Moonlane Gardens was hailed Album of the Year in the 2007 NU Rock Awards.
2008 came and Clementine and the sound of Orange & Lemons was resurrected with The release of Pocket Guide To The Otherworld - the debut album of The Camerawalls under Clementine's own indie record label - Lilystars Records. For more details visit http://www.lilystars-records.com
