The Orwells 'Dirty Sheets'

Dirty SheetsHailing from Illinois, Chicago - The Orwells are a young five-piece who describe themselves as sounding "real raunchy n shit". They also label themselves as "flower punk" which we whole-heartedly agree with. Following their recent appearance on Later... with Jools Holland, the psych/punk sucker-punch will release new single 'Dirty Sheets' on 13th January 2014. This also follow's the band's EPs 'Other Voices' and 'Who Needs You'.
'Dirty Sheets' is a sub-three minute track of pure filth. Trance-inducing riffs and outrageously catchy melodies ensure listeners' knowledge that The Orwells deal only in epics. If you're looking for a track that cranks up the frenzy, whilst sweeping you away into a dizzying whirl of riffs and beats; look no further than this impossibly moreish yet sleazy beauty.

The Orwells

Illinois based flower punk band The Orwells may only be young, (at eighteen years of age) but they sure know a thing or two about making quality music. Signed to Autumn Tone Records, the American five piece have gigged with high profile bands such as Palma Violets, and more recently they were pleasing crowds at Brighton's The Great Escape Festival. Connected by the same musical tissue, The Orwells capture punk's finer moments and forge a musical identity of their own.
 
Produced by Dave Sitek, the band treat us to three minutes of assertive riffs on Other Voices. With frantic drumming and an accelerating pace, The Orwells exert a sound beyond their years, transporting listeners back to the noughties when The Strokes were in their prime. Mallrats, is another rough and ready number with raw garage vocals scattered throughout the track. Little has been said about the band's influences, but with mega tunes like these it wouldn't be a surprise if The Rolling Stones and The Stooges turned out to be the ones.
 
Final track, Head continues in the same vein we've been travelling down. With a sense of menace here, and pulsing guitar lines there, The Orwells have crafted a scratchy riffed racket that will linger in listeners minds. The band describe themselves as sounding "real raunchy and shit", whilst raunchy they are, shit they are most definitely not.
