More familiar with the Decemberists than Bill Monroe, with firmer allegiance to Nirvana than Flatt and Scruggs, the Deciders are doing their best to reconcile these polarities. On the surface, the Deciders are a bluegrass band. However, you’ll find no (sincere) references to the high lonesome sound here; rather, fascinations with gentrification, fashion, pornography and pop culture abound. For, this is the world in which these “city-fied” twenty-somethings live. They can’t help but inject their worldviews into the genre of music they’ve chosen and make no apologies for their apparent indifference to traditional formulas: take what you like, and leave the rest. And, they’ve kept the best part: fast, hot pickin’ and poppy, soulful harmonies. The Deciders are a bluegrass band, not for the ages, but for right now.

Great contemporary band!! Quirky songs which really drive. These guys know how to make the old sound new, and vice versa.
