Osees is an American rock band that originated in San Francisco, California in 1997. Since then, they have undergone several lineup changes and name variations before settling on their current moniker. Led by John Dwyer, the band has been active for over two decades and is now based in Los Angeles. Their 2020 lineup includes John Dwyer, Tim Hellman, Dan Rincon, Paul Quattrone, and Tomas Dolas. With a rich history and a unique sound, Osees continues to captivate audiences with their energetic performances.

Originally known as Orinoka Crash Suite from 1997 to 2003, the band later adopted various names such as OCS (2003-2005, 2017), Orange County Sound (2005), The Ohsees (2006), Thee Oh Sees (2006-2017), Oh Sees (2017-2019) before finally settling on Osees in 2020.

Throughout their career, Osees has had numerous talented musicians join their ranks including Ryan Moutinho, Nick Murray, Brigid Dawson, Petey Dammit!, Mike Shoun, Lars Finberg,Jigmae Baer,Patrik Mullins,and Beef Yeastworthy.

Iconic rockers return with Teutonic synth punk sound.

“A pop record for tired times. Sugared with bits of shatterproof glass to put more crack in your strap. At long last, verse / chorus. A weathered thesaurus. This is Osees bookend sound. Early grade garage pop meets protosynth punk suicide-repellant. Have a whack at the grass or listen while flat on your ass. Heaps of electronic whirling accelerants to gum up your cheapskate broadband. Social media toilet scrapers unite! Allow your 24-hour news cycle eyes to squint at this smiling abattoir doorman. You can find your place here at long last. All are welcome from the get go to the finale…a distant crackling transmission of 80s synth last-dance-of-the-night tune for your lost loves. Suffering from Politic amnesia? Bored of AI-generated pop slop? Then this one is for you, our friends. Wasteland wanderer, stick around. Love y’all. For fans of Teutonic synth punk and Thee Oh Sees (who the fuck are they?)” — John Dwyer
