Beards. Flannel. Crazy-hair. Beer. Dewey Decimal and the System sounds as crazy as they look. Out of Jefferson, New Jersey, Dewey hits like a punch to the throat with their goofy, jovial personalities and their brand of rockabilly featuring tinges of country, folk, blues, swing and metal.

As lead singer Ted Sadiwnyk's vocals grates with a raw, rough resilience, he's backed by the unadulterated, pulsing drumming of Caleb Estey, whose metal roots give the band a solid, piercing rock feel. Mike Taddeo, guitarist, shreds with a conviction that would make anyone believe that Jesus can in fact kick ass. And take names. His brother, bassist Brian, and Eric Hantson on the keys round out the sound, and on tracks like Alphabasaurus add a rag-time/swing element. They've got songs about whiskey, horses, whores, druggin', guns "and more whores", that would make you wanna dance even if you weren't into one or more of that list.

They turn performances into legitimate hoedowns, parties that take you so deep into their folk-country-jive-swing-rock and roll that you already want to be at their next gig.
