Thee Fair Ohs are a UK trio who seem to be into puns. Judging from “Summer Lake,” they’re not into wasting time. After lulling us with a 25-second drum roll, tambourine, and pretty arpeggios, they barrel into one of the most immediate (and addictive) summer anthems we’ve heard in a while. It’s all over in under 3-minutes. Their off-kilter tropical post-punk energy’s reminiscent of Abe Vigoda. And, as far as the raucous garage-y aspects of their sound, it’s no coincidence they were photographed hanging out with Wavves and Women. They’re also on that aforementioned G.G. Allin tribute 7″ with Male Bonding, PENS, and Graffiti Island, which should give some insight, too.

They’re also into Paul Simon and Paul Simon on LSD.

i wonder if they were hoping people would confuse them with “thee oh sees” when they chose their band name. seems like a clever idea. i’m going to start bands called tv on the ray dio, drizzly bear, and waves.
Not to mention their name implies a garagepunk band when in actuality they sound like vampire weekend
this is nice and really refreshing! keep us updated on what they do, please?
these comments are well gash.
go the fair ohs!
Great track. Never heard of them before. Cheers.
Sounds exactly like Abe Vigoda.
