The Orwells
It seems impossible to read anything about this Chicago-based group without a mention of their young age. Unfortunately, I won't be an exception.
Before they approached the stage at The Bowery Presents Showcase at Piano's, I knew they were all in High School. But that did nothing to lesson my surprise as the baby-faced members took to their instruments. However, what emerged from the speakers was far from "baby-faced."
The raw sound, high-energy antics, and hair-whipping break downs were garage punk rock at its finest. The Orwells demonstrate kills beyond their years but a spirit and lack of reservations that can only be attested to their age.
