Deer Tick Fall Tour/MP3

Deer Tick Announce More Fall Tour Dates And Release A Free MP3 from Born on Flag Day


Deer Tick

The highly anticipated second full-length release from Rhode Island rockers Deer Tick, Born On Flag Day, has been garnering critical praise as the band crosses the country while on tour. Flag Day is Deer Tick’s follow-up to the band’s 2007 acclaimed debut, War Elephant. With the Deer Tick’s most recent release, the band has been busy with an extensive touring schedule at clubs across the country and abroad.

Unlike War Elephant, Born On Flag Day features three new members of Deer Tick that principal songwriter John J. McCauley III recruited to become the band’s current incarnation – Andy Tobiassen, Dennis Ryan and Chris Ryan. Born On Flag Day reflects a natural evolution from a singular vision of one songwriter to something much communal and listener friendly.
