Deer Tick: “Hey! Yeah!”

By: Jack Anderson

If you’re in need of some rowdy rockin’ indie alternative country, then it’s time to let Deer Tick crawl into your life. This Providence, Rhode Island quartet began as a duo back in 2004 and has been building up their raucous, grin-inducing sound over the course of seven full-lengths, a number of EPs, a few lineup changes, and countless live performances.

Deer Tick was last in the news with the release of their 2017 eponymous double album and next month they’re back with a slather of new songs. Deer Tick’s upcoming LP Mayonnaise is out February 1st and you can spread the fresh stuff around with its lead single, “Hey! Yeah!”

LYNN: “Slow Dreamz”

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A]

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio, the duo of Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe, that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless. It simultaneously takes me to a certain sunny side of the 90’s; my old, cozy, West Campus apartment; and some of the best new music I’ve been listening to all year. It’s also […]

Andrew Vineski: “Today”

Austin pianist Andrew Vineski is the embodiment of modern vintage and self-confidence. Many artists these days will tell you their sound is inspired by a bunch of obscure musicians, or that they’re modernizing an existing sound.

Not to be confused with neo-soul and […]
