Deer Tick

Deer Tick is a rough-and-tumble outfit from Providence, Rhode Island that began as an outlet for the solo material of singer/songwriter John McCauley and later evolved into a full band who integrate sounds from indie folk-rock, alternative country-rock, and blues-rock. The debut album from the fully formed version of the band, War Elephant, was released in 2007, and their approach grew only more visceral and vigorous through years of restless touring and the release of studio albums like 2013's Negativity and 2023's Emotional Contracts, their first for ATO Records. After celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2024, Deer Tick offered their first ever self-produced album in 2026's Coin-O-Matic.
