Deer Tick is the band name of guitarist and singer-songwriter John McCauley's rock Super Group.[1] It began as McCauley's solo project in December 2004. Within a few years he had acquired a strong following through constant touring in parts of the Northeast and self-released CD-Rs.
Christopher Dale Ryan (bassist) and Dennis Ryan (drummer who replaced Paul "Meatball" Marandola) became official members of Deer Tick in mid-2007. James Falzone played electric piano with Deer Tick off and on from 2006 to 2007.
Deer Tick's music has often been described as a combination of folk, blues, and country with a strong grunge influence. McCauley is known for his distinct gruff-sounding voice.
The group released its first studio album War Elephant to mostly favorable reviews on September 4, 2007.
