Orange and Lemons

Orange and Lemons is a Filipino pop rock band formed in 2003. The band name "Oranges and Lemons" was initially recommended by a former member of the group. Apparently the band was not aware at that time that the name was actually derived from a British nursery rhyme and a title of an album by the British band "XTC". So they changed it to "Orange and Lemons". With a style of retro music combined with alternative rock, the band has become few of Pinoy Rock bands that have definitive sound that separate them from the rest of pure pop and rock. The band's main musical influences range from The Beatles and The Smiths, to The Cure and The Eraserheads. Orange and Lemons or ONL is a grand and swift crossover story from their humble beginnings as a virtually unknown act in the scene to being independent artists to being artists under major label Universal Records Philippines. Their songs enjoyed massive airplay in radio stations and music channels in the country resulting to the band gaining popularity and winning fans of different ages and backgrounds. Their hit songs as of 2006 include "Just like a Splendid Love Song", "Hanggang Kailan (Until When)", "Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)", "Abot Kamay (Within Reach)" and the massive and controversial hit song "Pinoy Ako ('I'm Filipino)," which was the official soundtrack of Pinoy Big Brother, Philippines' franchised version of the reality TV show Big Brother. Their 3rd album entitled MOONLANE GARDENS was released June 8, 2007. The band officially disbanded September 29, 2007.
