We are pleased to say that the Defibs are now teaming up with Charisma Artist Agency for all booking. We caught up with the gals in Austin and after intense negotiations over a picnic table and a few sixpacks of Shiner Bock, we decided to get into bed together and seal the deal. The truckbed, that is. We are very excited to be working with this great group of agents and joining their awesome roster.

Razor sharp harmonies and surreal lyrics illuminate songs that are gritty and witty; spinning tales of deception, debauchery, depleted bank accounts, fanaticism, vintage firearms, biological anomalies, airline intoxication, and animal ennui.

James Goodwin (MURDER BY DEATH, CAMPHOR), and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound, The Defibulators’ debut album, Corn Money, captures the sonic spectacle The Defibulators have become known for at their live shows while creating a captivating and unique sound all its own.
