Shiver

Take a bunch of aging punkers (and as one, I mean that in the nicest possible way) with a love of old 7 Seconds and Government Issue music who refuse to burn out or fade away, lock them in a studio with a producer with an impressive punk track record and voila! Pittsburgh's Shiver are not breaking any new ground on their first real album, but their passion for what they're doing more than makes up for it. Vintage mid-tempo anthems with thrashy outbursts haven't sounded this fresh since Pennywise's second album.
