The OSYX is a Washington DC based post-punk band that formed in 2018. They have been described as, "largely raucous and at times silvery - with melodic tensions and chemistries, harmonies and howls that make you want to join the pack." in Curve Magazine. [1]
History
The line up currently is Erin Frisby ( vocals, guitar, synth, multi-instrumentalist), Ara Casey ( vocals, guitar), Selena Benally ( vocals, guitar), Robzie Trulove ( drums) and Maya Renfro ( bass, guitar, vocals). New Noise Magazine calls them "immensely collaborative, with some improvisation going on and anyone being able to bring ideas to the table for any song." [2] The band is named after an alpha female " Yellowstone wolf, The 06 (that’s the pronunciation oh-six), named after her birth year. She was an unusual wolf, large, capable of bringing down a mature elk on her own." [3] The OSYX performed for Fort Reno , Smithsonian Folkways, Washington Mystics and started a non-profit record label called, This Could Go Boom in 2019. [4] In January 2020, The Wammies announced The OSYX as nominee for best Rock Album and Best Rock Group categories, as well as their feature as a performing act for the Wammie weekend. [5]
