The Orwells

Meeting in high school, the various members of the band came together to explore the rock music they respectively loved. What started out as casual jam sessions between old family friends soon became a far more serious affair as the group began to understand their talent and the uniqueness of their material.

The group was discovered in 2011 and after graduating high school in 2013, the band decided to stay together to pursue their music. The group have released two studio albums: “Remember When” in 2012 and “Disgraceland” in2014. Both albums have picked up a significant underground following, but the band has yet to achieve huge commercial successes. In fact, the band has been described as “criminally overlooked” by MTV.

The band has toured with the Arctic Monkeys and in January 2014, The Orwells gave a legendary performance on the “Late Show with David Letterman”. The studio audience and David Letterman himself were so blown away that they called the band on for an encore. The Orwells were unable to provide them with the encore, though, because guitarist Matt O’Keefe had rocked out so hard that he had broken all the strings on his guitar.

While it is early days for the band, there are certainly many more successes to come. Both critics and fans alike hope to see The Orwells achieve the commercial success they deserve.
