Ryan Lindsey

Ryan Lindsey is an American indie rock musician best known as the guitarist and vocalist for the band Broncho, formed in 2010 in Norman, Oklahoma. Broncho gained attention with their energetic blend of garage punk and alternative rock, releasing several well-received albums including *Can't Get Past the Lips* (2011), *Just Enough Hip to Be Woman* (2014), and *Bad Behavior* (2018). Lindsey’s distinctive guitar style, characterized by melodic chugging using a battered Silvertone and minimalist gear, has been central to the band’s unique sound, which evolved from punk energy to a more nuanced, hypnotic vibe by their 2022 album *Natural Pleasure*.

Before Broncho, Ryan Lindsey released solo music including singles like "Split 7","Let's Go Out," and the album *White Paper Beds*. Raised in Norman, Oklahoma, Lindsey grew up surrounded by an eclectic mix of musical influences, ranging from rock legends to alt-rock revival bands, which shaped both his songwriting and deep appreciation for the vinyl medium. His journey began in the local DIY scene, where performances at open mics and small venues helped him refine his craft and led to broader recognition with Broncho’s rise in the indie rock world.
