Hailing from Halifax, The Orielles are sisters Sidonie B and Esmé Dee Hand Halford, best mate Henry Carlyle Wade , the newest member as of 2018 Alex Stephens. The then teenagers bonded over their shared love of alternative US bands from the 90s such as Sonic Youth & Pixies as well as pioneering filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino (The Orielles have cited his work in their songs and consider his work a major lyrical and aesthetical influence). Keen proponents of the DIY aesthetic, they learned their instruments on the road through gigging and the band have spent the past few years polishing their sound, with a steady string of hugely successful A-listed singles, and sell out tours across the UK & Europe.
