Their self-written bio reads: "The Orwells are made up of five 17-year-olds from Chicago, Illinois. They play rock 'n' roll music. Their names are Mario, Grant, Henry, Dominick and Matt. They write songs - scratch that, primitive teenage battle cries - about girls and America and being suspended from high school. Although one might categorize The Orwells' distinct brand of the blues as garage or punk, they would be wrong. The Orwells sound comes from a deeper, different place-a place both long forgotten and also timeless" (
BoweryPresents). Though they may be young, they're also charmingly self-aware, a cheeky quality that rings out in their satisfyingly brash non-garage-rock.
