Hailing from Halifax (UK), The Orielles are sisters Sidonie B and Esmé Dee Hand-Halford and their best friend Henry Carlyle Wade, whom they met at a house party just a few years ago. They have a shared love of alternative US bands from the 90’s such as Sonic Youth and Pixies as well as pioneering filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino. Musically, those inspirations result in a girl-group-go-garage thing. So it isn’t strange that their band name is a homage to the Shirelles.

The Orielles like to ‘do it themselves’. They learned their instruments on the road through gigging, design their own artwork and help with the video-making. After a string of singles, their new song Let Your Dogtooth Grow will hopefully force a break-through.
