Student Rick

Once an unknown band from Indiana, Student Rick caught the eye of Victory Records, who then introduced the punk-pop band with emo tendencies to the world. The young band went from playing in Midwestern farm towns to playing at the 2002 CMJ New Music Marathon seemingly overnight. In summer of that same year, Student Rick -- comprised of Adam Reiter (guitar/vocals), Brett Jones (guitar/vocals), Jason Pavilanas (bass), Zach Davis (drums) -- recorded its debut album in Fort Collins, CO, with Bill Stevenson, formerly of the Descendents. Victory released the album, titled Soundtrack for a Generation, in October 2002, and Student Rick embarked on the Victory Records Tour 2002 with labelmates Catch 22, Grade, and Reach the Sky. A constantly touring band, Student Rick also toured nationally with Ann Beretta and the 2002 Vans Warped Tour. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
