The Shivers are a rock n roll band from Cambridge, England. Comprised of four modest and polite gentlemen, the band have no real aim as such, other than to be the best at what they do and enjoy themselves doing it. They entertain no notions of ever conquering the UK music scene, mainly because they think it is pony.
They currently enjoy a cult status, thanks to a rootsy sound which eschews electric guitars and fuzz pedals in favour of slide guitar, ukulele and untypical methods.
The wide range of influences that permeates their tunes and the raw power of their live performances have enabled them to work with many different artists such as The Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles, Chas n Dave, Status Quo, The Waterboys & Paul Weller.
Previous low key releases have received airplay worldwide, including the late John Peel himself!
With new single "Merry-Go-Round" due for release in March, 2008 is gonna be business as usual for the Shivers.
Most recently, they have topped the NME's cherry-pick of Cambridge bands to watch out for, in the annual NME Student's Guide! They were also the very first band to be played on the newly FM-licensed Radio 209! So check 'em out!
