To distract myself from focusing on the fact I have a BITCH of a migraine and feel like I’m going to throw up until my stomach decides to leave my body, I’m listening to a band that quite frankly, make everything that is wrong, totally right.
Let me introduce you to a chap who is an astounding musician. His name is John Dwyer. He has been in numerous bands such as DJ Shitbird (personal favourite and yes based on the name), The Drums (not the lads from New York), The Hospitals and currently Thee Oh Sees- the band that I am going to ramble on about for a bit.
Music doesn’t always have to be peaceful and calming. Sometimes, you just need a riot in your ears. This is why I love Thee Oh Sees. They are a wonderful garage rock band. Think, Count Five and Thee Vicars. Check these bands out if you’re not familiar. Thee Oh Sees started off as another outlet for John. If you thought Jack White was like some musical god, then you’ve got to get onboard with John Dwyer’s work. Thee Oh Sees is now a fully fledged group that produce this amazing psyhedelic/garage rock sound.
Their trippy feel to their music is just brilliant. John’s voice is wonderfully echoed by thr stunning vocals of fellow bandmate Brigid Dawson. She harmonises so beautifully under John’s deep, powerful and quite seductive voice. What I’m trying to say is, Thee Oh Sees are nothing like anything you have heard before. I don’t know if you’re looking to have your spirit shaken on this dull Sunday evening, but I suggest you give yourself o ver to The Oh Sees. After you’ve done that, delve into John Dwyer’s back catalogue; you won’t be disappointed.
