about

Without hesitation, Big Orange delivers a nostalgic yearning for old school rock ‘n’ roll as moody blues-rock keys combine with illustrious guitar lines. Navigated by pushing electric guitar riffs and powerful drums, Davis’ firm vocals call through a kinetic fuzz that simultaneously echoes with rock legends of both past and present, as stage-ready guitar solos soar with striking confidence.

Drawn into a seductive bridge, Davis showcases his sonic depth by creating an ambient contrast to the surging rock layers, with subtle sighs reiterating the song's desire for indulgence, until a final snapping drum solo brings the track to a close.

‘By The Dozen’ represents yet another instance of Davis' strong songwriting capabilities, able to bring his worldly reflections to life through sophisticated storytelling, describing the single as:

"... a hedonistic fever dream of sex and ego and a plea to the kids to return to rock n roll.”

lyrics

Your bible say
Thou shalt not sin
Tried heavens door
They didn’t let us in

Come on all you kids let’s rock n roll

We crave the flesh
Covet the touch
We want it all
It’s never enough

Come on all you kids let’s lose control

Get it anyway that you can
It’s cheaper by the dozen
And if you wanna come
We can get you there

Moonwalk on Mars
As Ziggy plays guitar
We live so fast
Like shooting stars

Come on feel the love it’s all around

Get it anyway that you can it’s cheaper by the dozen
And if you wanna come we can get you there

Get it anyway that you can
I get mine by the dozen
And if you wanna come
We can get you there

Get it when ya can
Get it anywhere man
