Thee Oh Sees

About Thee Oh Sees

Sweat-drenched and steadfastly unhinged, Thee Oh Sees are one of the most invigorating bands of their era. Led by guitarist/vocalist John Dwyer, the group's early stages evolved from the lo-fi garage rock of their 2007 debut, Sucks Blood, to 2011's psych-pop-adjacent Castlemania and 2014's almost slick Drop. After that album, the band's sonic reach expanded to include proto-metal, dark psych, and trippy prog. 2015's Mutilator Defeated at Last bore the first fruits of this new approach, and over the next few years they embarked on a rush of creativity, with 2016's A Weird Exits adding motorik rhythms; mystical jazz-rock featured on 2018's Smote Reverser; and 2020's Metamorphosed displaying a blown-out fusion of styles. Along the way, they became a top-tier psychedelic band, one that could be counted on to do the unexpected -- like release a hardcore punk album (2022's A Foul Form) -- with reliably thrilling results.
