The Orwells are further previewing their imminent new album ‘Disgraceland‘ with ‘Southern Comfort‘ – scroll down to have a listen below.

‘Disgraceland’ is pencilled in for release on June 2nd and will follow the Chicago band’s independent 2012 debut ‘Remember When‘. Recorded in London, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Woodstock, its story goes right back to those early days – as guitarist Matt O’Keefe recalls.

“We were hoping eventually something would happen and it would become serious,” O’Keefe recalls. “We were like, ‘We love writing songs, so let’s just keep doing it.’ When we were writing those early songs, the goal was just to make all the other bands in our high school jealous.”

“You make good music, say what you wanna say and have a good time- that was what we were shooting for. But now that we’re a little older, the goal is bringing rock & roll back to everybody’s car speakers. Sometimes you get afraid to go to the highest point you can, at the price of being called sell-outs or whatever. But we say fuck that, if we can get every single kid playing rock and roll music in their parents’ car stereos, that’s what we wanna do.”

The Orwells will be in the UK during the month of their album’s release for shows in Liverpool, Edinburgh, Nottingham, London and Manchester.
