“Now five albums into the Damaged Bug solo project, John Dwyer brings the pounding krautish grooves you expect, as well as some things you don’t,” says me @aquariumdrunkard.com https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/03/18/damaged-bug-zuzax/ #music #damagedbug
Damaged Bug :: Zuzax - Aquarium Drunkard

Now five albums into the Damaged Bug solo project, John Dwyer brings the pounding krautish grooves you expect, as well as some things you don’t: gothy, baritone, ballads a la Roxy Music or John Cale; 70s-fusion jazz-influenced improvisations, and Afro-beat rhythms. Damaged Bug has always been more open-ended than even the wide-ranging Ohsees, and it’s a treat to see an artist like Dwyer following his own inclinations, wherever they might lead, and often into illuminating new territory.

Rivisitando un album che quando uscì, nel 2015, avevo liquidato troppo frettolosamente: Cold Hot Plumbs di Damaged Bug (ovvero John Dwyer degli Osees).

Primo pezzo in heavy rotation, Jet in Jungle:

Damaged Bug is how John Dwyer of the noise master garage-punk-psychedelic band Osees winds down for some me time by creating electronically driven experimental noise music instead.

Damaged Bug | the PROPAGANDA site

When he is not busy creating a ruckus with his regular outfit Osees, singer-songwriter, and one of the prominent figures in the Southern California punk and garage scene, John Dwyer spends his time under the Damaged Bug moniker, creating a kind of music that is a tad more on the experimental side, driven by plenty of synths and electronic textures. This is where he lets his hair down, so to speak, and produces a more challenging and dissonant sound. There is a scrappy and funky quality to his work, which typically stretches between two main themes: '70s psychedelia with a krautrock edge, and the type of studio experimentation Brian Eno produced in his pop albums in the same decade. Dwyer brings the same kind of intense creativity into his work as Damaged Bug as he has been putting into creating the Osees catalog for decades.
