Oh Sees - "Overthrown"
New TracksCommentSan Francisco rock band Oh Sees (previously Thee Oh Sees and other variations) are back after last year’s Orc and Memory of a Cut Off Head, the latter of which was released under the OCS moniker. The band has become known for its prolificness, so the quick release of this new single, “Overthrown” comes as little surprise.
Thee Oh Sees have never been afraid to crank up the volume, but they've really upped the ante for “Overthrown.” While staying true to their garage rock and psychedelic foundation, the band puts a greater focus on metal and prog rock influences.
“Overthrown” is the first single leading up to Oh Sees’ upcoming album, Smote Reverser, which drops August 17 via Castle Face. They’re kicking off a tour this weekend at Boston Calling.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - "Crumbling Castle"
New Tracks1 CommentKing Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard seem to have their fourth album of 2017 locked and loaded, and while I haven't been particularly impressed by the past two releases, this latest single has got my mouth watering. "Crumbling Castle" is one of the most epic, multi-faceted, and mystical tracks the band has delivered thus far. And they're apparently making good on their promise of five albums this year, so I guess we'll be hearing this one real soon.
Oh Sees - Orc
ReviewsComment(Thee) Oh Sees is a well-oiled psych rock machine on Orc.
