New album, "Mycelium Music Vol. 1: Pinedemonium Awakes" out 23 September. Pre-order the eco-mix vinyl: https://themightyorchidking.bandcamp.com

'Taking inspiration from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. A psych-rock smash up with thoughtful lyrics and a decent grasp on socio-demographic politics. In other words, a switched on, savvy and talented band. Get into this.' (Fresh On The Net) 

 'An impressive, richly orchestrated achievement...with a revitalizing, stimulating and even spiritual impact. Both a striking ode to nature, in particular trees, and a wake-up call for all those who are in denial modus about the many devastating dangers our mother Earth has to face. We need bands like these right now who emphasize those urgent world problems.' (Turn Up The Volume!)

'Reminiscent of a young T.Rex with a splash of Temples, The Mighty Orchid King deliver a fist-pumping, air guitar-worthy, ballistic missile of a rocker...one of the UK’s emerging bands’ (The Revue)

Not a singer but just love having a muck around.

Formed in 2013, the band's sound has evolved out of the diverse musical influences that exist within the band.
