A murderous rampage and a gory new video is how The Orwells have celebrated Halloween – check out the promo for ‘Norman‘ on Live4ever at this link.
The track is another taken from the Chicago band’s raucously entertaining major label debut ‘Disgraceland‘, which smacked us all around the face last June – when our review reflected:
“The intensity of The Orwells sound and the breakneck pace of the record cannot fail to please. The music demands attention, much like their debut record ‘Remember When‘. Unlike that record, however, it is infused with a lecherous pop sensibility that makes this a much more compulsive listen. The energetic punkiness of their debut has been replaced by a plethora of influences, and a sensation of joy.”
“This is what a rock record should be; succinct and impressive. The songs never linger, but they also never leaves a bad taste. Cake has been had and very much eaten, and the portions keep coming. The sound is dirty and enticing, the pace is raw and bruising, the balls are firmly nailed to the wall.”
