The Orielles

The Orielles’ origin story is an unusual one. Coming together at a Halifax house party, they decided to form a band - even though sisters Esme and Sidonie Hand-Halford couldn’t actually play any instruments... “We decided, why not make a band,” Esme told Yorkshire Live. “We all got on and had the same idea about how we wanted to sound. When we first started out, we were much more of a post-punk band - the surf-pop sound came about as we naturally developed.”
