"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
