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!”

Trunk: “Chili’s 45th and Lamar”

Depending on the general reception of a sitting administration, President’s Day often presents the creative community with opportunities to shed some sociopolitical discourse. Today, that’s not quite the case. Instead we’re yielding the podium to a group whose last two albums were Trunk’s America and north american practice space. Yes, we’re talking about Trunk. Look […]

Space Tan: “I Don’t Wanna Die”

Maybe it’s this never-ending relay race of global pandemics, the collective cabin fever many of us endured during the recent ice storm, or just a gentle mist of malaise. Whatever the affliction, if the Milky Way’s main attraction is shining when you’re feeling imprisoned indoors, it’s always worth taking a couple of minutes to soak […]
