The Profile

Orchid are an American screamo/hardcore punk band from Amherst, Massachusetts, active from 1998 to 2002. Revered for blistering brevity and intensity, they helped define emoviolence with records like Chaos Is Me (1999), Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! (2000), and Gatefold (2002). Early work was recorded with Kurt Ballou.

American screamo/emoviolence band (Amherst, Massachusetts), active 1998–2002; key albums: Chaos Is Me (1999), Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! (2000), Gatefold (2002); associated with Ebullition Records; recorded with Kurt Ballou.

Three glowing reviews hail Orchid as archetypal screamo/emoviolence: chaotic, visceral, and cathartic. Chaos Is Me (1999) is framed as a watershed, with rough, violent production by Kurt Ballou. Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! tightens the frenzy into a short, explosive ride. Gatefold broadens the palette with slower, misanthropic passages and instrumental pieces.
