The Dickies

About

Formed in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles in 1977, The Dickies are an American punk rock band with over 40 years of continuous existence, making them one of the longest tenured groups in the punk rock genre. The band has built their distinctive sound by combining catchy melodies, harmony vocals, and pop song structures with a speedy punk guitar attack. This musical approach is paired with a humorous style that has earned them the description of "pop-punk" or "bubble-gum punk," and they have sometimes been referred to as "the clown princes of punk." Their ability to balance accessible songwriting with energetic punk instrumentation has defined their career throughout their decades-long tenure in the music industry.
