Zoom THEE OH SEES Carrion Crawler/The Dream 7 out of 10 Is there any stopping Thee Oh See’s endless stream of spastic garage punk? Carrion Crawler/The Dream is the San Francisco four-piece’s second LP of 2011, a sort of messy sister album to Castlemania, released earlier this year. On that previous record, founder/mastermind John Dwyer and his bandmates threw out short bursts of 60’s-inspired psychedelic folk and weird sing-along anthems. Here they seem to return to the jam tendencies that informed 2010’s Warm Slime, and consequently sprawl with reckless abandon. READ FULL REVIEW HERE

His penchant for forming different bands, relentlessly playing shows, and recording an insane amount of music, released or not, has made him something of an icon to younger musicians currently blossoming within the scene that he largely pioneered.
