What people are saying about The Orwells:
“Something great is happening in Chicago, spearheaded by teenage punks The Orwells… 'Other Voices', produced by Dave Sitek, is perhaps the best thing to emerge from the scene so far. A raucous three-minute take on Stones-y R&B, it's the canny Iggy-gone-crazy vocal that really makes it fly.” – NME
“Batten down the hatches, two of the country's more rambunctious young bands -- FIDLARand The Orwells -- will be on tour together this fall.” – Brooklyn Vegan
