Ricky have been doing this their way since 2020, and ‘What’s The Point’ is the clearest picture yet of what that sounds like. The San Diego slacker rock outfit’s third full-length album is out now via DHCR Records, rooted in punk, blues, and psych, and covering the wide range of Southern California life from the ground level up. It’s the kind of record that sounds lived-in because it is.
The album builds on two previous full-lengths and a handful of singles, and it finds the group pushing into new sonic territory without losing the grit that defines them. Ricky write about the parts of life that most people recognize but rarely hear in music, the relatable, unglamorous, everyday stuff that slacker rock was built to carry. ‘What’s The Point’ delivers that with confidence and a sharp sense of humor about the whole thing.
The group has earned their road credentials touring alongside The Frights, Worriers, Tiny Stills, and Decent Criminal, and they’re putting those miles to use again with a full record release run already underway. The tour wraps April 14 back home in San Diego, giving the album a proper send-off in the city that made them.
‘What’s The Point’ is out now on vinyl pre-order and available digitally.
