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.

For the outro B chord, I hear a lead pattern that sounds like it's going B - C# - E - F# -, while
the rhythm plays a B chord leading to the final open E chord.
