Oranjuly was an American alternative rock band based in Boston, Massachusetts founded in 2008 by American songwriter Brian E. King (singer/multi-instrumentalist). Their sound has been described by music journalists as a mix of Weezer and The Beach Boys because of their catchy songwriting, intricate arrangements and heavy usage of vocal harmonies.^{[1] [2]} The name Oranjuly is a combination of King's favorite color and birth month.^[3]

Oranjuly's self-titled album was released on July 2, 2010, during a show at The Middle East.^[4] Songs for the album were written and recorded by King over several years since his first songwriting sessions in 2005.
