ORB are a heavy-psych power-trio from Geelong, Australia, blending doom-laden riffs, fuzzed-out proto-metal and cosmic groove. Featuring members Zak Olsen, Daff Gravolin and John Zacharias, the band grew from informal jams into one of Australia’s most distinctive underground psychedelic rock acts.
They debuted with the Womb cassette (2015) before breaking through with Birth (2016) and Naturality (2017), records that showcased their signature mix of Sabbath-weight, psychedelic sprawl and off-kilter melody. After a quiet spell, ORB returned with Tailem Bend (2024), expanding their palette into sun-baked psych- pop and funk-leaning rhythms. 2025 saw the band self-release their first single with new drummer John Zacharius. "Mind Over Matter /End Times" is a catchy number which finds the band leaning into their early 60s rhythm & blues influences. With the single debuting on Seattle's KEXP radio, the band was then invited on to play a live set to kick off their 2025 US tour. Live, ORB operate as a raw, improvisational power-trio — loud, hypnotic and heavy without pretension. With one foot in classic hard-rock and another in the outer reaches of psych experimentation, ORB continue to evolve while staying unmistakably themselves.
