Rodriguez was a San Luis Obispo based rock band active in the mid to late 1990s.

The band is notable as an early collaboration between Matt Ward (who later came to prominence as M. Ward) and Kyle Field (aka Little Wings), along with a series of drummers: Jake Hockel, Sanjeev Srinivas, and Mike Funk.[1][2] The band was described by Field as "the band in which I learned how to play music".[2]

They completed one full length CD, 2000's Swing Like A Metronome, which was produced by Jason Lytle of Grandaddy and released by independent California label Devil in the Woods. The band also released a couple of releases recorded by Adam Selzer from the M. Ward band and Norfolk & Western. Co-dependent Records released the "Weren't a Problem" EP as a 7" on in 1996 as well as a cassette entitled, "Cash Crops and Box Plots" in 1995.
