Orwell Music

The current line-up of Orwell Music fell into place in Northampton in the autumn of 2000 when Duncan (guitars/vocals) and Andy (drums) hooked up with Dave (bass) and developed their own take on alternative rock. Influenced by bands such as Shellac, The God Machine, Slint, dEUS, Pixies, Nirvana and Jacobs Mouse, Orwell Music are an exciting live prospect. Their dynamics give little clues as to what's coming next as they switch from crunchy, pedals-on rock-outs to intricate, melodic interludes and build-ups - often all in one song. They do fi - lo or hi. They will remind you of other bands without ever really sounding like anyone, and will demonstrate scientifically that songs don't have to go verse-chorus-verse to be any good. Orwell Music do what they do because they love it. They've played to appreciative audiences in England and Germany and are currently doing all they can to play live at every opportunity - mostly in London, where they are now based. Orwell Music is men. You'll be glad you took the time to check them out.
