Osees and Traps PS

Traps PS, an L.A.-based band known for their concise, impactful songs, draws inspiration from Gang of Four and James Brown. The trio, featuring Miles Wintner, Danny Miller, and Andrew Jeffords, emphasizes rhythm and clarity. They've released music on their label, Papermade, and partner with Innovative Leisure.

Osees, led by Rhode Island-born John Dwyer, has evolved his garage-punk project through noisy rock, psychedelic pop, and synth-infused styles. Known for albums like "Mutilator Defeated at Last" and "Protean Threat," Osees' energetic performances feature Dwyer's shouted vocals and wild guitar riffs. Longtime collaborators include Brigid Dawson and Lars Finberg. From German label Tomlab to In the Red, they've continually reinvented their sound, integrating synths into albums like "Intercepted Message." Notable for their collaborative ethos, Dwyer's projects span several genres, constantly pushing musical boundaries.
