| "I finally got out to see a
Chelsea In Orbit show in March. (2002) I got their CD a while back and
thought it was a great album. Most of their songs are very
“radio-friendly" and have great hooks and progressions. I’d
definitely recommend checking out Chelsea in Orbit for those of you that
haven’t had the experience yet." Anthony J. Caroto, Editor Origivation Magazine |
"Their
web site described them as spacey, but to me their sound was much richer
than that. Songs were
simple -- two or three chords and catchy melodies -- but the orchestration
of the lead guitar coupled with the full sound of singer Juan Parejo's
rhythms identified CIO's sound as unique."

| "An altogether tight and heavy pop/alternative band
with a groove in all the right places...big things could happen for this
Pennsylvania foursome" Alex, Ward 42 |
"Alternately rocking out with spacey reverb effects, trippy guitars and emotional vocals, the quality of the material shines through in multiple facets." Stuart Pitt, Rockpile |
| "Parejo's
delivery makes each (song) sound like a call from an emotionally
complicated place, where he sends back pointed messages…" Brian Glaser, Digital City |
"Chelsea
in Orbit’s live show is an assault on the senses and can only be
described as musical aggression." John Williams, Pitch |
| "Pretty
cool guitar intro and I liked the "vibe" right off the
bat…Last note, I want to hear more from this band....” Lauren Scheff, Belly Puddle |
"Everything that is
needed to catapult to the top of the charts. Catchy guitar riffs,
addictive vocals and of course the Chelsea in Orbit style of aggressive
pop/hard lyrics". Bob Figarola, Urban Squirrel |
| Saturday night, you're
chillin' with friends. Maybe you're walking around the city streets, maybe
you're just sitting around in someone's apartment. Either way, there's
that vibe. You know what I'm talking about. The Saturday night vibe that
resonates through your entire body. You wanna move, live, feel the wonder
of the starry night -- you want to "burn, burn, burn like fabulous
yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars," as
Kerouac so eloquently put it. It's time to call the troops and party like
you've never partied before. But, like any good party, you gotta have the
music. That's where
Philadelphia area band Chelsea in Orbit comes in. Their three-song EP,
"Choke," burns with feeling.
Juan Parejo, the founding member, lead singer and main songwriter,
gives a cosmic voice to the trippy guitar work of Gregg Biesiada, Rick
Eddy's driving drums and Christian Seidel's throbbing bass. The result is
ethereal. "Sugar",
"Electric", and "Coming Down", will provide the
perfect soundtrack to any Saturday night. Lisa Trudeau |
