Orgy is an American rock band formed in 1994 by vocalist Jay Gordon and guitarist Ryan Shuck. Best known for their cover of the New Order song "Blue Monday," Orgy burst onto the nu-metal scene in the late 1990s with their unique blend of grunge, synth-pop, and industrial music. Their debut album, "Candyass," released in 1998, quickly reached platinum status, propelled by the success of their hit singles. The band's original lineup consisted of Jay Gordon (vocals), Amir Derakh (guitar/synthesizer), Ryan Shuck (guitar), Paige Haley (bass), and Bobby Hewitt (drums), who together crafted Orgy's distinct sound, marked by the use of heavy guitar riffs mixed with futuristic electronic elements.

Throughout their career, Orgy's sound evolved, yet they maintained their dark and edgy aesthetic. They have experienced lineup changes, with Jay Gordon being the only constant member, overseeing the band's direction and sound. After their initial burst of success and popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s, Orgy went on a hiatus but re-emerged with the release of "Talk Sick" in 2015. Their most recent projects reflect the band's willingness to experiment and embrace contemporary music influences while maintaining their core identity. Songs like "Army to Your Party" and the single "Shady AF (feat. rexi XO)" showcase a blend of their traditional alternative sound with the modern electronic and industrial vibe. Orgy continues to captivate a devoted fanbase with their edgy videos, raw lyrics, and an eclectic sound that has evolved while still paying homage to their roots.
