Deer Tick confirm Dublin date

The Rhode Island outfit will be plugging Negativity, their fifth studio album, which was recorded in Portland, Oregon with legendary Blasters and Los Lobos producer Steve Berlin.
The collection was partly inspired by singer and guitarist John McCauley’s father being jailed last year for tax fraud. Add in his own personal travails – drugs and the cancellation of his weeding are but the tip of the iceberg – and there’s plenty of stuff for McCauley to get his lyrical teeth into.
“This record is me pulling myself out of the funk I was in,” he reflects. “I wouldn’t say I was depressed, I think it was more than that. A lot of those days, I just felt like a waste and I didn’t truly recognise it. There’s a lot of time that I just don’t remember at all and it’s kinda frightening. I wasn’t the good person that I imagined I was. I caused a lot of problems.”
