There are at least 4 bands called Orchid:

1) Considered by many to be one of the pioneers of the “screamo” sound, Orchid was first and foremost a hardcore band. Orchid combined a post-modern aesthetic with hardcore punk, releasing several now hard to find splits (with bands including The Red Scare, Jeromes Dream, Combatwoundedveteran, Encyclopedia of American Traitors and the grindcore band Pig Destroyer), a 10” record (Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! on Ebullition Records) and an LP (Chaos Is Me on Ebullition Records). Orchid’s members more often cite the German bands Systral and Carol as influences, as well as the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! and Chaos Is Me were released together as a single album, also on Ebullition Records. The band’s final release before their break-up was a self-titled album (commonly referred to as Gatefold) on Ebullition Records. Members went on to form the bands Wolves, Panthers, Ampere, Bucket Full of Teeth, and Transistor Transistor. Posthumously, a CD compiling all of their singles and split releases (Totality on Clean Plate Records) was released. The CD also contains compilation tracks and songs from the Dance Tonight… Sessions.

The band was formed while the members were studying at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts in early 1998. Orchid played its last shows in a number of cities during the summer of 2002, the last of which was at the Advocate in Harvard Square in Boston.

I am deleting all my former statements, not that I take them back, but frankly, this isnt the place, considering orchid has nothing to do with any of this. If you wish to STILL discuss this with me, leave me a shout I guess.

Maybe he appeared again? GusBreslauer - you are a communist retard. You remind me of a soviet history book my grandfather was forced to learn off after my country got occupied by them. The whole book had around 150-200 words (no more) and their derivates, including the good old "exploatation", "fascism", "Imperialism", "the road of progress", "fascist opression", etc. Fortunately enough it is good that these kind of neo-communist trash do not number more than 80-100 around here.
