Deer Tick
Recommended by: Claire Douglas
Deer Tick is an American rock band from Providence, Rhode Island led by guitarist and singer-songwriter John McCauley. The band began as McCauley's solo project in December 2004, but Christopher Dale Ryan (bassist) and Dennis Ryan (drummer ) became official members of Deer Tick in mid-2007. Deer Tick's music has often been described as a combination of folk, blues, and country with a strong grunge influence and McCauley is known for his distinct gruff-sounding voice. The group released its first studio album War Elephant to mostly favorable reviews on September 4, 2007. Check Deer Tick out at their myspace for my info.
