Disgraceland by Orwells
Disgraceland is an album by Orwells, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Who Needs You”, on 3 lists with a best position of #43.
Disgraceland, the Orwells' second album, came out on Atlantic on June 3, 2014, from a garage rock band of Elmhurst, Illinois, kids who had graduated early from York High School to chase the music full time. Jim Abbiss produced, and he wisely leaves the grime on: Mario Cuomo sneers and yowls, Dominic Corso's guitar is all fuzz and bad manners, and Grant Brinner on bass and Henry Brinner on drums bash along like the cops are already at the door.
"Who Needs You" is the snotty calling card, the first song of theirs to crack a chart, one they played on Letterman and that turned up in Grand Theft Auto V. Critics split: Consequence of Sound loved how the band owned its brattiness, while Pitchfork's Stuart Berman figured they knew full well they were rebuilding a very worn-out wheel. Terrible Human Beings came next.
