Terrible Human Beings by Orwells
Terrible Human Beings is an album by Orwells, released in 2017. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “They Put A Body In The Bayou”, on 5 lists with a best position of #43.
Terrible Human Beings, the Orwells' third studio album, landed on Atlantic on February 17, 2017, and the garage-punk brats from Elmhurst, just west of Chicago, sound as sneering and scrappy as ever, even with Jim Abbiss producing and a major label behind them. Mario Cuomo yowls and slurs up front, Dominic Corso's guitar snarls, and Grant Brinner on bass and Henry Brinner on drums keep things lurching forward like a party that won't take the hint.
"They Put a Body in the Bayou" has a title straight out of a Southern-gothic paperback, and the band plays it with all the grime that promises. The album followed Disgraceland, and it turned out to be the last one the band released before splitting in 2018; a self-titled record they put out themselves surfaced in 2019.
