OSEES traveled the world at length this year, with headlining performances across the United Kingdom, Ireland, The Netherlands, Australia, and North America, including festival stops at Pukkelpop (Belgium), Sled Island (Calgary, AB), Wide Awake Festival (Herne Hill, UK), SXSW (Austin, TX), Kilby Block Party (SLC, UT), and Substance Festival (Los Angeles, CA).

Now, OSEES announce new 2024 tour dates in Japan and Europe, set to precede their previously announced North American tour dates. Tickets for all newly announced dates are on sale today.

In addition to the aforementioned OSEES dates, OCS (the John Dwyer + Brigid Dawson duo) will additionally play a three-night run in Los Angeles next week. This includes a set at this year’s Kitchen Sink Festival (at Lodge Room on Tues. December 19). The benefit festival, curated and produced by Devandra Banhart with the intention of shedding light on food insecurity in Los Angeles, will also feature appearances by Angel Olsen, Jim James, Bethany Cosentino, and more.

Tickets for the newly announced OSEES dates are on sale this Friday, November 17 at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST. Find more information and tickets HERE, and find the full list of upcoming dates (including those with OCS) below.

PRAISE FOR OSEES

“‘Goon’ is synth-punk-meets-hair-metal greatness. Imagine an edgier, subtler, less-hairsprayed version of KISS […] It’s a tune that will transport you to the most rebellious years of your early tweens, the kind of tongue-in-cheek, ‘fuck you all’ number that never fails to make you want to head-bang at your desk.”
– Paste

“Title track ‘Intercepted Message’ is indeed on the poppier side of the Dwyer oeuvre […] Rich Homie Quan talked the talk, but John Dwyer walks the walk: The man will never stop going in”
– Stereogum

“OSEES keep shedding their skin and changing shape.”
– Brooklyn Vegan
“On the new record, the band rips through 10 no-bullshit, lo-fi punk ragers in just 22 minutes. Each track pares things down to pay homage to hardcore’s beautiful simplicity while working in menacing, bad-trip electronics to shake off any illusion of this record being a simple genre exercise […] The album is a joyous, lightning-crack celebration of the crusty kids out there creating classics without a care in the world about whether their records adhered to any rules of fidelity.”
– Paste

“Osees revisit the crash’n’smash of early U.S. hardcore, along with the DIY post-punk underground of the same era. So songs like Funeral Solution and Scum Show are blasts of no-fucks given aggro, Perm Act is a wonkier Dead Kennedys, and Too Late For Suicide and Fucking Kill Me bring herky-jerky no wave weirdness to the art-party.” [****]
– KERRANG!

“Visceral, squelchy, fuzzed-up punk that sounds basement, was recorded in a basement and is so far underground it knocks the devil out of bed, yet is ballistic enough it’ll still knock the roof off.”
– NARC Magazine

“High-octane explorers Osees take a ‘scum-punk’ turn with intense new album, A Foul Form, their most urgent and topically engaged to date”
– Uncut

“The album is a mass of major chord distortion, everything dialled up to ten, not just in the red but bleeding from the mixing desk through saturated smoke-filled and fueled mayhem […] On A Foul Form, they have shredded their recent formulas, incinerated them and conjured something from the ashes that just might be their most brutal creation. It’s a total blast!”
– Louder than War

“Breathlessly brilliant stuff”
– MOJO (Sept 2022, pg 93)

“A Foul Form is 22 minutes of unrelenting intensity that drives up your heart rate and leaves you wanting more once its brief attack abruptly ends. Recorded in Dwyer’s basement, there is a raw quality to the manic tracks. Dwyer growls and screeches while tearing through uptempo power chord riffs while propulsive rhythms are pounded out by drummer duo Dan Rincon and Paul Quattrone.”
– Glide Magazine

“Compact and highly combustible”
– Classic Rock Magazine (Aug 2022, pg 86)

“Clocking in at just under two minutes, the visceral track is mesmerizing and hypnotic, demanding your full attention for its entirety. ‘A Foul Form’ begins and ends with an unrelenting guitar that speaks to its true punk rock nature, walking the fine line between control and chaos.”
– Consequence of Sound

“A wild, surfy punk burner that takes some weird left turns over the course of four minutes”
– Brooklyn Vegan

“On “Perm Act,” the group leans a bit further into erratic punk with Dwyer’s vocals going completely off the rails as he condemns the city-budget-hoarding thugs who only seem to become more of a nuisance every year.”
– FLOOD

“[‘Funeral Solution’ is] a real punk ripper that finds John Dwyer in raging, throat-mangling vocal form.”
– Brooklyn Vegan

“Scurrying and furious”
– Stereogum
