"Nineteen Eighty-Four" is a four-piece band hailing from Sacramento, California. Drawing inspiration from George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," their singles – "Obey," "Escape," "Realization," and "Wrongspeak" – revolve around themes of surveillance, societal control, and political manipulation. The convergence of electronic and rock genres in their music creates a unique experience, reflecting the fusion of contrasting elements much like the novel's juxtaposition of totalitarianism and individualism. 

In crafting their sound, the band employs electronic elements to convey a futuristic and Orwellian atmosphere, while the rock elements provide a visceral and rebellious edge. The lyrics serve as a narrative, telling a story or exploring concepts reminiscent of the novel, offering listeners a thought-provoking and immersive experience.

The choice of the band name itself, "Nineteen Eighty-Four," signifies a deliberate homage to Orwell's work, suggesting a thematic alignment with the novel's commentary on the dangers of unchecked government power and the erosion of individual freedoms.
