Anyone heard of the Orwells?

[Loseyourillusions98]

i recently found out about a young band called the Orwells. They come from chicago and are apparently making noise in the underground. There music kind of reminds me of the arctic monkeys a little and there album disgraceland is pretty good. Any thoughts?

I discovered them a few years ago, back when their videos only had a few hundred views. I like the songs Mallrats, Hallway Homocide, Who Needs You, Let It Burn, and The Righteous One.

Their singer, Mario Cuomo, has a bit of an Axl vibe going on, which I think is kinda cool. and its funny that you mentioned the Arctic Monkeys, cause they toured with them recently, but apparently the two bands did not get along.

Judging by interviews, it seems that The Orwells are kinda assholes. They tend to brag about themselves a lot. Also their performance on Letterman was terrible. The singer was trying wayyyyy too hard there.

yeah the singer is nice and all but he does seem to try too hard. he feels like a cheap knockoff of axl sometimes. singing in his underwear and humping the floor and shit.lol. I like too listen to southern comfort when im smacked though haha
