Press Release Summary: Strike Orange, who is only at a median age of 20 years old,
already has six albums out and fans all throughout the northeast.

Press Release Body: The punk rock band, Strike Orange, is at it again with their
peace efforts and political alignment. Last month Strike Orange played at the Peace,
Punk and Metal Festival 2008 to help save the people living through horrendous
tragedies in Darfur, which is located within the Sudan. All profits from the show
went as a donation to the Save Darfur Organization that is backed by presidential
candidates like Barack Obama. This month they were informed by Obama campaigners
that Strike Orange is invited to play at one of their rallies for the presidential
candidate.

Strike Orange, who is only at a median age of 20 years old, already has six albums
out and fans all throughout the northeast. The punk rock band aligned their
fan-building efforts with Alonce Music Agency a couple of months ago, who has
already established possible talks of a record deal with Go Large Records
International, LLC (GLRI).

"We feel that Strike Orange has a look that the public will really respond to and
music that serves as a peace movement within itself," said Michael Singleton, a
representative with GLRI.

If both Strike Orange and GLRI come to a decision to move forward with their music
movement, then GLRI will plan an effective initial campaign that will consist of
iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, and other internet distribution companies for inclusion
within their stores.

"I was approached by Obama's team to play for the presidential candidacy a few weeks
ago," Ben Mench-Thurlow said, who is the drummer for Strike Orange. "They found out
that I was playing the Peace, Punk and Metal Festival 2008 for such a great cause
and they asked me to play for their Albany campaign."

Strike Orange, previously known as Orange Juice to their fans, has been playing
around the New England area for several years. With six albums under their belt and
industry interest on the rise from all around the country, Strike Orange promotes
their non-violent values through songs like "war is hell" and "bombs away." The
remarkable talents of Strike Orange found a home at the Save Darfur benefit as well
as the Obama team member's hearts and all of those who attended.

Strike Orange can be heard live during their mini tour of the East Coast, called the
East Coast Attack Tour. They are playing in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and all throughout New Jersey.
