Osees Tickets

"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 Magazine

"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

"One minute and 54 seconds of primal punk energy and a machine gun blast of hard rock, that gives this prolific band another victory flag in its discography"

- Glide Magazine

"OSEES are one of those bands that you have to see LIVE and while you get the sense that you are watching a well oiled feral punk machine, this machine is oiled with bodily fluids, with blood and sweat and maybe some spit too."
