O.R.B (formerly Original Rudeboys) won the Song Of The Year award at the Meteor Choice Music Prize in Dublin on Thursday evening. The award, decided by public vote, was for “Never Gonna Walk Away”, a Top 10 Irish hit for the band released in November 2013.
It's another great chapter in the short history of this hard working trio from inner city Dublin. Formed in March 2011: Rob Burch (vocals, guitar), Ned Arkins (rapping) and Sean Walsh (guitar) released their debut album as Original Rudeboys in spring 2012. “This Life” has gone on to achieve platinum sales status in Ireland, and was the mother ship to four hit singles: “Stars In My Eyes”, “Travelling Man”, “Written Songs (Feeling Good)” and “Blue Eyes”.
O.R.B have toured extensively and they sold out the Olympia Theatre in Dublin three times last year. O.R.B are just putting the finishing touches to their second album, which will be out later in the spring.
The follow up to “Never Gonna Walk Away” - brand new single “Feel It In Your Soul” - will be released on Friday 28th April.
