Clem Castro (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. Their new album is currently in the works and scheduled for release late this year.
