OSEES
A raw, noisy, over-the-top rock & roll explosion, Osees is one of the many incarnations of John Dwyer's long-running garage-punk project. Rooted in his ripsaw guitar sound, shouted vocals, and aggressive performance style, Osees is a newer, more streamlined handle for Dwyer's group, The Oh Sees (or just Oh Sees), their moniker(s) since 2006. Fractured psychedelic pop, confident garage rock revivalism, crushing proto-metal, dark psychedelia, and trippy prog are some of the ingredients that give their music its form and flavor. 2015's Mutilator Defeated at Last was the album where the Oh Sees' many ingredients most effectively came together before they reinvented themselves as Osees with 2020's Protean Threat, an effort that took their diverse musical obsessions and packed them into faster, louder, and (relatively) shorter sounds. As the decade progressed, the band began to integrate synthesizers into their sound more and more, on 2023's Intercepted Message edging into vintage synth pop territory, while 2024's SORCS 80 subtracted guitars from their approach entirely without sacrificing any of the band's innate punkness.
After Rhode Island native John Dwyer relocated to California in the late '90s, he became active on the San Francisco indie scene, playing with several bands including the Coachwhips, Pink & Brown, Yikes, Up Its Alive, and Swords & Sandals. Dwyer formed OCS (which was an acronym for Orinoka Crash Suite, Orange County Sound, or whatever Dwyer decided it was on any given day) as a vehicle for the experimental instrumentals he was producing in his home studio. In time,morphed into an actual band, and worked under the usual flurry of names. The group featured Dwyer on guitar and vocals, Brigid Dawson on vocals and tambourine (later adding keyboards to her arsenal), Petey Dammit on bass, and Mike Shoun on drums.

Sounding a bit like the Mamas & the Papas and Love run through a blender with bent and rusty blades, the band signed with the German Tomlab label and released Sucks Blood in 2007 and The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In in 2008. Thee Oh Sees moved over to In the Red for their third album, 2009's Help, which featured a splash of garage rock power mixed with the band's psych-pop sound. Warm Slime followed in 2010. Thee Oh Sees pulled double duty the following year, offering the pop-leaning Castlemania in June, followed in November by the heavier, wilder Carrion Crawler/The Dream, which was also the group's first recording with second drummer Lars Finberg of the like-minded group the Intelligence. Never a band to rest when they could be making noise, returned in September 2012 with Putrifiers II, an album combining Castlemania's fractured pop sensibilities and Carrion Crawler/The Dream's ferocious rock experimentation. Their next foray, 2013's Floating Coffin, saw the group stripping away all the weirdness and hitting hard with a heavy set of straight-ahead garage/punk rock tunes.
