About OCS
Artist Biography
While playing in the bands Pink & Brown, Zeigenbock Kopf, and the Coachwhips in the late '90s, guitarist/vocalist John Dwyer found he needed an outlet for songs that didn't reach the same level of frenzied noise as those groups. He chose the name Orinoka Crash Suite, or OCS for short, and began recording the folky psychedelic songs in a lo-fi manner, mostly on his own at first. In the mid-2000s, he changed their name to Thee Oh Sees. Over the next decade-plus, Dwyer operated under permutations of the Oh Sees name, cranking out numerous albums. In 2017, he brought back the OCS name for an album of delicate and weird psych-folk called Memory of a Cut Off Head. ~ Tim Sendra
