John Dwyer

**John Dwyer** is the frenetic creative force behind the ever-evolving garage-psych powerhouse Osees (formerly known as Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, and other iterations). A restless innovator, Dwyer has spent decades churning out raw, high-energy rock that bends genres, blending punk ferocity, krautrock rhythms, and lysergic experimentation. Beyond Osees, he’s a serial collaborator, branching into projects like free-jazz improv group Witch Egg and synth-driven side ventures like Bent Arcana, proving his appetite for sonic chaos knows no bounds.

Based in Los Angeles, Dwyer also co-runs the label Castle Face Records, a hub for weirdo rock gems. His live shows are legendary sweat-drenched marathons, with Dwyer shredding his guitar like a man possessed. Recent releases like *Protean Threat* (2020) and *Metamorphosed* (2020) showcase his knack for reinvention, while 2023’s *Intercepted Message* dials up synths and dance-punk grooves. Whether he’s rattling eardrums or tripping into jazz-skronk territory, Dwyer remains a tireless outlier in underground music.
