The Dewars

"Twin brothers Anthony and Zachary Dewar led their six-piece group through dark-humored songs, whose lyrics ranged from “ Life is like a merry-go-round till the burial ground” to musings on the apocalypse, all set to an upbeat, Decemberists-like, old-timey folk sound. By the end of the performance, listeners might have walked away humming the catchy refrain to the group’s song “Pedophile Pete.”" ~ CMJ2010.com "The Dewars... casually took on serious themes in songs like the self-explanatory opener, "Life is Like a Merry-Go-Round Until the Burial Ground," and its anti-capitalist follow-up, "Bulls and Bears." The refrain of another song asks, "If the world was gonna end today/What would you say?" The Dewars, I'd imagine, would suggest that you just sing along while they provide the soundtrack with their indie-rock barnyard stomps." ~ Nick Murray (The Village Voice)
