OCS, originally known as Orinoka Crash Suite, is the brainchild of John Dwyer, a prolific figure in the San Francisco music scene. Emerging in 1997, OCS began as Dwyer's solo project, delving into experimental, lo-fi recordings that blended psychedelic and folk influences. Over time, the project evolved into a full-fledged band, undergoing several name changes—including The Ohsees, Thee Oh Sees, and Oh Sees—before returning to the OCS moniker for the 2017 album "Memory of a Cut Off Head." This release marked a return to the project's acoustic roots, featuring collaborations with longtime associate Brigid Dawson. OCS's dynamic sound and Dwyer's relentless creativity have solidified their place in the alternative music landscape. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osees?utm_source=openai))
