[ROCK] Deer Tick released two volumes of self-titled records last fall. Deer Tick Vol 1 and 2 could be seen as the two sides of the band over their 14-year-long career—Vol 1, the stringy, acoustic, rootsy side, and Vol 2, the garage rocking, fiery side. Formed as a solo project for frontman John McCauley in 2004, the band gradually took form as a four-piece after the 2007 release of debut album War Elephant, which was released on the band’s long-time label, Partisan Records. A string of well-received indie rock records followed, which strung together rock n’ roll, folk, and post-punk with McCauley’s lyrics that bounce from themes of heartbreak and frustration to acceptance and loyalty. The Providence, Rhode Island-based band brings their show to Buffalo Iron Works on Tuesday, May 1 with psychedelic folk band Liz Cooper & The Stampede. Presented by Sunbeam Entertainment.
