Rick Rude

Rick Rude is a Minneapolis-based indie rock trio known for their scrappy energy and genre-blurring sound that mixes garage rock, power pop, and post-punk textures. Formed around 2016, the band features Dan Larson (vocals/guitar), Kyle Werstein (bass), and Adam Burback (drums), serving up tightly wound riffs and wry lyricism with DIY fervor. Their discography, including releases like *Make Mine Tuesday* and the *Rick Rude / Kiss Concert* split, thrives on punchy hooks and restless experimentation, earning them a cult following in the Midwest’s underground scene. They’ve built a reputation for sweat-drenched live shows, often sharing bills with fellow noise-punk acts like The Blind Shake, while tracks like “Slow Cooker” and “Laverne” showcase their knack for balancing melody with unpolished grit.
