DeadJournalist.com Exclusive Interview with Deer Tick

It’s been a whirlwind summer for the guys of Deer Tick, the whiskey and beer rock band out of Providence, Rhode Island. Buzz around the band’s second album, Born On Flag Day, began late in 2008 and by the time the Summer of ’09 had ended the band was continuing its non-stop touring; had been interviewed by NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams (who confessed to being a big fan of the band); released its sophomore album; added a new new guitarist; and to top it off, the band’s lead-singer asked Nikki Darlin of Those Darlins for her hand in marriage.

And you thought you had a busy summer.

From a musical perspective, the band’s album crossed country, folk and rock to appeal to a fan base who cherished whiskey and dirt and a lack of pretentiousness in their music. Much like Lucero did in there early days, Deer Tick became the band people who didn’t listen to ” that kind of music” listened to – and loved.
