The word on CORN MONEY....
HONORABLE MENTION, MAY '09: Robert Christgau's Consumer Guide on MSN MUSIC
MELOPHOBE: "Brooklyn’s sly honky-tonkers the DEFiBULATORS create a fantastic, fantastical debut. Big-band sound, smart-band lyrics, and artist’s-band instrumentalism conspire to twang you into 1920s Arkansas. In a good way. Pleading vocals and pleasing whackabilly rhythms complete the magnificent effort, sending you moseying (briskly) to your record store."
CRAWDADDY: The Defibulators (not defibrillators) hail from Brooklyn, New York’s thriving indie scene and they’ve developed a funky, rootsy, out-of-control sound that’s all their own. The six-man, one-woman band blends bluegrass, country, honky tonk, rockabilly, Dixieland jazz, punk, and maybe a touch of anti-folk into an intoxicating, good-time mélange that’s guaranteed to slap a smile on your face. Roots-heavy, post-punk music that reinvents the conventions of country music with a CBGB-meets-Grand Ole Opry feel.
PHILADELPHIA CITYPAPER: The Defibulators eschew pretension by dirtying up their hillbilly tunes with driving rhythms and a dash of feedback. While the barn burners, such as "Defibulator" and "Go-Go Truck," propel their live show and their new album, Corn Money, it's the quieter, contemplative songs, like the boozy "Wandering Eye," that really pack a wallop.
BOSTON WEEKLY DIG: “Their tightly woven sound, strange drawl and junkyard accompaniment is used to full effect....The band shines on fast-paced tracks like "Ol' Winchester"—a sonic tornado guaranteed to cause spontaneous fits of un-ironic foot tapping. 'Money’ is a throwback to classic country that stands on its own two red long-johns-clad feet”
UNDER THE RADAR:
"Corn Money recreates the barroom swing of early country greats...a boozy concoction worth swigging until last call"
NEW YORK MAGAZINE: "[Bug] and singer Erin Bru slip into harmonies that recall the storied Gram Parsons–Emmylou Harris duets...unvarnished beauty"
EARFARM: "Sinister, squawking urban honky-tonk and rockabilly served hot and dirty."
INK19: "Corn Money is a barn-burning album that is musically as "roots" as it gets...definitely a band to watch""
NASHVILLE SCENE:" The pastiche is expert: 'The Gravy Shake' suggests The Mar-Keys jamming with The Buckaroos, and the amazing 'Go-Go Truck' pays loving tribute to Dave Dudley"
CMT.com: "The Defibultors are gifted musicians...genuine about their craft"
DAILY TARHEEL:
"The Defibulators capture a jubilance that's enticing and accessible...a rarity"
HONEST TUNE: "roots-rocking punk iconoclasts...Corn Money is a brash, bold, trend setting accomplishment for The Defibulators. This is exciting and original material for challenging times"
