Orange Can

The origin of London, England's Orange Can can be traced back to early 1999, when brothers James and Jason Aslett began working on a large number of songs together. Having just finished time in another band, the Asletts decided to fashion a record in their home studio and gather bandmates later. They spent three months recording Entrance High Rise, with the intent to re-record the material after attracting a label with what they had. The independent Regal (U.K. home of the Beta Band and Boymerang) were impressed enough by the record to schedule it for release without changing a thing. Shortly after cementing the deal with Regal, the Asletts recruited bassist Lee Catlin and a drummer, who would later be replaced by Rory Clarke. The quartet recorded The Engine House, an EP that was released just prior to Entrance High Rise. After a pair of 2001 singles, the Ansletts released their sophomore LP, Home Burns.
