Piss Shivers

About Me



The Piss Shivers have been a band in one form or another since 1993. Orginaly started by Cedric Rokkgod demo-ing songs with a drum machine, an actual flesh and blood line up soon followed. With a revolving line up consisting entirely of Rokkgod's friends, the Piss Shivers have played and tour extensively on the east coast and release several recordings including the cds "Help, My Dog's A Skinhead" and "Hepped Up On Goofballs" as well as appearing on several cd and vinyl compilations. After a breif hiatus to find a new line up, the band is back and stronger than ever!
