The Rickets

About Me

The Rickets -The Rickets were an old school hardcore punk band that existed from1990-1996. Most of their time was spent on Bainbridge Island, WA, but in their later years they bounced around from Olympia WA to Oakland CA, to Portland OR. Throughout their existence they had many line up changes with Larry Rickets being the only consistent member for the full 6 years. The Rickets did one 2 and half month U.S. tour and numerous west coast tours playing with the likes of Rancid and the Swinging Utters. The Rickets released 7 different 7 inch records, but unfortunately never a full length album. That will be rectified sometime in the future when Puke Records releases The Rickets 37 song anthology. Also, if you have any old Rickets photos, or flyers please send them our way and we will post them up here. Thanks, The Rickets.
