A ripple of excitement at Live4ever Towers this morning thanks to the sight of The Orwells‘ new single ‘Buddy‘.
It’s the first track unveiled by the band since their major label debut Disgraceland in 2014, and is the precursor to UK gigs at the Wardrobe in Leeds on November 29th and Tufnell Park Dome in London the next night.
Disgraceland was consistently one of Live4ever’s favourites records throughout 2014 and duly got a place on our end of year list due its ‘relentlessly, powerfully and brutally heady mixture of youthful energy and filthy pop-rock‘:
“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 The energetic punkiness of their debut has been replaced by a plethora of influences, and a sensation of joy.”
