THE ORWELLS
"I'm not that old but I'm getting pretty wise" -- a sentiment within the early seconds of The Orwells' new album, Disgraceland, that pretty much sums up the eleven tracks that follow it. Two years have passed since the band emerged from their boring Chicago suburb as five high schoolers hellbent on reminding the world that American rock & roll is still alive. A lot has happened since then for The Orwells. They've slain and sweated on audiences around the world, recorded with their favorite contemporary producers, shared the stage with childhood heroes, raked in accolades from distinguished publications and even had David Letterman begging them for more. And now, as they release their irresistibly raucous yet masterfully architected Disgraceland on Canvasback Music, The Orwells are getting pretty wise. The story of Disgraceland -- recorded last fall at studios in London, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Woodstock, NY -- is the story of The Orwells escaping the confines of their hometown and of their own expectations for themselves. Doing whatever comes naturally seems to be paying off for The Orwells. Their television appearances on Later With Jools Holland and The Late Show With David Letterman in the past year gave audiences around the world a taste of what concertgoers have seen during the band's recent tours with Arctic Monkeys, FIDLAR and Palma Violets. Footage of the performances instantly made the rounds. "I thought we did it right," says Cuomo. "I fucked up a bunch, but in retrospect, it's how rock music should be played: No matter what venue and where you are and who you're playing for, it's not going to be perfect. Even if you're on TV, it's ok to fuck it up sometimes."
"The Orwells tap into [;;;;;a];;;;; primal energy in which youthful abandon and sloppiness are touchstones and know their way around a nuttily repetitive hook." SPIN
"The best new live band in America" NME
"...a mixture of back-breaking intensity, youthful tomfoolery and the utterly unhinged... With their brattish sensibility and near endless displays of energy, The Orwells seem to tap into that perennial youthful outcast in all of us the kid who is forever being dragged to detention on reputation alone." Clash Music
THE SYMPOSIUM
The Symposium have been together since 2004, but began to take things more seriously as a group as of 2012. They have since gained a local following after the release of their 2014 double EP 'Drugs' on Halloween. The band has garnered the attention of many news outlets locally as well as internationally earning the title of Buzz Band of the Week in NME magazine. The Symposium can be found filling house shows in Chicago with many of their fans singing along to their singles Tony Stark, Cowboy, and Half Life. The band has since added their new drummer, Jamie Seiwert, to their lineup as they are gearing up to release a steady supply of new music and play an extensive amount of shows. Their most recent releases include their music video for the stripped down weezeresque sound of 'Red River' and the playful 'Toadally Cool'.
