Nashville based avant-garde garage noise duo The Chewers have amassed another healthy another dose of harsh, sparse off-kilter songs. Dead Dads is an eventful ride at fun fair from Hell. Travis Caffrey and Michael Sadler have a soft spot for the creepy - (I Wanna Be) Friends With Your Kids is a parents nightmare set to music - and they love to mock the materialism that comes with American Dream in Scar Not A Car.
Dead Dads is about outsiders and misfits. It is also a fierce statement of independence and discovering beauty in dumpsters. The Chewers is a duo for fans of Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits and Johnny Dowd fans. The latter has a memorable guest spot on King Cockroach playing synths and handling the vocals.
Dead Dads will be released on June 12th. Free CD for attendees of the album release party.
