The Chewers are Travis Caffrey and Michael Sadler, two freaks who crawled from the woods of West Virginia to taint the water of the Nashville underground. Once there they began to hammer out an idiosyncratic brand of avant-garde rock'n'roll, and infused it with a wry and deadpan sense of humor.

The Chewers are now ready to hatch their new album "Dead Dads", their most complex and jaggedly groovy work to date. During the time it took to bring the album to term, both Chewers' dads died. Their deaths deeply affected the birthing process, and became embedded in the dark, irreverent musical mutant that burst forth.

The song "King Cockroach" features underground legend Johnny Dowd, Uncut Magazine's Americana Artist of the Month (March 2015).
