Charlie & Ryan O’Brien grew up in sunny Sheffield, UK and attended university near London. At school they formed The Council Walls, whose one and only independently released single, “Unimpressive,” managed to scrape the bottom rungs of the UK charts.

Following a show on a stifling summer night at the 100 Club that ended in a food fight, the band split. Charlie & Ryan soon found their way to the USA, eventually settling in Chicago, Illinois and forming The Unswept.

In a small but tiny apartment in the Logan Square neighborhood, they write & record power pop tunes. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
