“Wide Awake And Dead” is addictive at its most transient points and downright obsession-worthy at its hook. The single is indicative of the direction that ORGY is headed in 2014 ~ this new sound is brimming with crisp, charging guitars, unforgettable lyrics, and transfixing melodies.

A Little ORGY History
ORGY emerged in the Goth music scene in 1998 with their incredible remake of “Blue Monday.” The track sold over 1 million copies and built a worldwide audience for the brand. After years of success and then a brief hiatus, founding member Jay Gordon (vocals) decided it was time to kick things back up due to high demand, and begin recording and touring again to appease ORGY’s fans and thank them for their support. The band was pieced back together to feature skilled instrumentalists, and 2014 marked the addition of guitarist and bassist Creighton Emrick, adding another layer of unique synth guitar sounds and melodies.
