Thee Oh Sees Add More U.S. Dates, Play 5 North American Festivals / "Castlemania" LP Out Now To Rave Reviews On In The Red Records
"Their output is prolific and their live show combustible... But it's good to hear Dwyer step away from his backing band's big guns, if only for a moment." - Pitchfork
"these 16 basement screams are the B-sides of rock history" - Spin
"Castlemania is the work of a guy who’s earned the right to do what he wants...with a great and hopefully-here-to-stay band to boot. And the good news is we’ll only have to wait a few months to see what he does next." - Paste
"Even after the drawbridge to Castlemania has been raised, its acidic, singsong dementia lingers like an aftertaste." - A.V. Club
"A good band this prolific is a real and immediate pleasure." - Tiny Mix Tapes
"old fans will love it, first timers will trip backwards through the band’s rich, prolific catalog." - Filter
"When Thee Oh Sees hit their mark, you’d be hard-pressed to find a band that makes music quite this catchy and unique." - One Thirty BPM
"Dwyer is a square-jawed, tattooed ambassador for elegant hedonists everywhere. His music is raw, elemental rock, but his personal style is crafty and split-second fast." THE NEW YORKER
"John Dwyer deserves a star on the underground garage-punk walk of fame." STEREOGUM
"In the psych garage world — music with a pop core that moves at a spastic speed with warped melodies —Mr. Dwyer, the front man, is an underground idol." NEW YORK TIMES
