Biography:
After disbanding The Orwells have gotten back together and released a new self titled album on June 17th 2019.
As of 2018-08-29, The Orwells have disbanded following numerous accusations of rape and sexual harassment by the band members.
For The Orwells, Remember When will be an introduction of sorts—the 12-track rat-race shows the band’s repertoire of pranging riffs and sneering, snot-nosed vocals. The tracks are a walloping war-cry from a generation that up until this point has only offered bubblegum pop—the animus of The Orwells.

[Verse 1]
B F#
Never seen a house that looks so haunted
B D
Never met a girl that's so unwanted
B F#
Should've been wise and saw it coming

Now I'm in trouble and I'm running
B F#
Should've been a doctor or a lawyer
B D
Should've never listened to Destroyer
B F#
Could've been a madman or a teacher
B D B
Could've been a bad man or a preacher
[Chorus 1]
F# B F#
Came from the wrong side of the tracks
B F#
Showed up with scratches down his back
B F#
Got his Camaro painted black

And he ain't ever coming
