I met John Dwyer n 2002 at Mr. Roboto Project in Pittsburgh PA. when his old band Pink & Brown played a show there. That night I fell in love with his nasty guitar sound and the way he could harness such an intense energy from an audience. Since then Dwyer has clearly become one of the most relentless and most prolific musicians going today. Next month his band Oh See’s will release a double album called “Face Stabber”. When discussing the new record Dwyer said “This album is Soundcloud hip-hop reversed, a far flung nemesis of contemporary country and flaccid algorithmic pop-barf.” The group recently released a video for one of the albums lead singles Heartworm” and it’s packed full of what I’d call “blistering garage punk insanity” . Watch the video below. “Face Stabber” comes out on August 17th courtesy of Castle Face Records.
