Shivery Shakes’ “Hold On” Bows
Shivery Shakes release Three Waves & A Shake, out now on Punctum Records & Austin Town Hall Records.
Watch & share Shivery Shakes’ brand new video for “Hold On” premiered on Culture Collide here: http://youtu.be/mvYDUmi9yrI
“Like their music, the video for “Hold On” is ironic, twisted and dark, yet definitely catchy.” -Culture Collide
Shivery Shakes return with their debut full-length, Three Waves & A Shake, featuring ten tracks of their dreamy, ’60s pop meets garage rock sound (they were even described as a mix between Roy Orbison and Pavement by the Daily Texan).
Premiered on Culture Collide on Halloween, you can now watch and share Shivery Shakes’ brand new video for their track “Hold On.” The video concept is a dystopian infomercial where the subjects are permanently trapped in the ‘before’ scenes, and the miracle product never arrives to save the day. So you see only frustration and exasperation as everything continues to go impossibly wrong.

More about Shivery Shakes:
In this modern era, where nearly every “indie” rock band blends eras of music that came before them; Shivery Shakes stand to set themselves apart with their own brand of minimal jangly-pop for a sound that defies nostalgia. The band was sewn together by escapism and happenstance from members of two Austin bands, The Bubbles and International Waters. Their first release, the eponymous Shivery Shakes EP, came in March 2012. It was an ode to the hopeless yet enlightened slacker-ism by which the city of Austin is defined. It was a tiny manifesto on how to party like a beach bum even if you’re landlocked.
The recordings and live shows brought the band much acclaim, earning them a 2013 Austin Music Blogger Award, and even their very own “Shivery Shakes Day” as awarded by the mayor of Austin, TX. Their live set is captivating, dominated by the sharp interplay between punchy guitars and surf-beat drums, all washed in a river of paisley-soaked melodies provided by songwriters William Glosup and Marcus Haddon. Shivery Shakes have earned their local stripes with these riotous shows, which have led to opening gigs for The Soft Pack and Surfer Blood. December 2013 saw the group begin their relationship with Punctum Records, releasing the Sidewalk Talk 7″ on flex-disc, which expanded on the musical palette that the group began with.
After getting their feet wet with a journeyman’s tour of the East Coast in Summer of 2014, Shivery Shakes are releasing and touring on their debut LP Three Waves & A Shake, which will be co-released between Austin-based labels, Punctum and Austin Town Hall Records.
