About

Sons of Rick

since 2022
Sons of Rick is a genre-blending indie band from Kingston, Ontario, bringing together infectious melodies, dynamic instrumentals, and an undeniable chemistry. Drawing inspiration from late nights out, shared experiences, and the moments in between, the band channels their close-knit connection into music that feels both playful and sincere.

Influenced by artists like The Strokes, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys and Peach Pit, Sons of Rick blend indie rock energy with their own distinct sound. Their natural chemistry shines through in their live performances, captivating audiences with an infectious energy and genuine love for making music together. Big solos, bigger choruses, the occasional instrument swap mid-set.

Our latest single, Fuzion Frenzy, came out in 2026, named after the 2000s Xbox party game we play when we get together. The music video is out now. Before that came our debut EP The Basement, three songs written in Rick's basement where the band started, and the single Filter in 2024.

We have played The Broom Factory, The Mansion, The Toucan and out on the water aboard the Island Queen. Everything we make comes out of being friends first, and that is the thing we want people to feel at a show.

Check out their repertoire here.
