We are exited to announce the printing of The Defibulators Songbook by Mel Bay Publications!
The 116 page book includes songs from Corn Money as well as 6 songs from our upcoming album. It also includes lead guitar tablature, fiddle transcriptions, photos, illustrations, and a bizarre DIY section called Metalbelly’s Woodshed.
It’s been an honor to collaborate with Mel Bay on this unique book and to be included in their catalog.

The Debfibulators
The Defibs are Brooklyn’s kings of alt-country—just minus the “alt.” This is true, fiddle-driven Americana here. Their honest spin on rootsy bluegrass is refreshing and fun. With all the proggy pretenses stripped away and no pesky Jim O’Rourke-types complicating their sound, the Defibulators transport you to a Louisiana porch where ma’s vittles kiss the air and a washboard ain’t just for cleanin’.
Don’t be quick to label the Defibs revivalists though—their sound is as fresh as it is traditional. The New Yorker branded them “citibilly,” the perfect name for a band that’s equal parts Mast Brothers chocolate and down-home possum pie.

It’s New Jersey’s greatest rock n’ roll bowling alley.

We had a blast at the Ossipee Valley Music Festival last weekend.
We played a rager of a barn dance on Saturday night and met some great Mainers.
One of them was photojournalist, Greta Rybus who asked us for an impromptu interview for her website.
Read the interview and see her pictures at Who I Met.
Thanks Greta!
