MUSICIAN & ZINE ARTIST

JAY GORDON

Orgy Founding Vocalist, Industrial Synth Architect & Producer • Los Angeles, CA • Since 1991

Founding frontman, songwriter, and electronic producer of Los Angeles 'death-pop' pioneers Orgy, and producer of Coal Chamber's self-titled debut LP and Crazy Town's early sessions. Jay Gordon fused post-punk vocal hooks with crushing industrial drum programming and synth-guitar walls on 'Blue Monday', 'Stitches', 'Fiction (Dreams in Digital)', and 'Opticon'.

“We called it Death-Pop because we loved 80s post-punk and synth-wave just as much as we loved heavy industrial mosh pits.”
