Shivvers
Reckless/my Love Calling
"DON'T YOU DARE! I was emailing with the head honcho of a pretty decent 7" label, talking about our new releases, and he wrote he didn't know about this band, he did not know that THE SHIVVERS are a thing... what the effing... Dude!!!! Do your homework! 'Teenline' is one of the best power pop songs ever, THE SHIVVERS LP with all their hits is a must have for every powerpop enthusiast... the only thing thats kinda sad about this band is: they only existed from 1980-1982... so what's on the LP (and okay, on the 'Hyped To Death' CD) is all we ever will get from them... UNTIL NOW!!! We could not believe our eyes when Jill Kossoris told us she has two new songs... and here they are! To be honest, they are quite different to the uptempo tunes from the early '80s that made them a household name BUT they open up a different dimension of this group. There is so much '80s vibe in these two songs, it's just unbelievable, it's like a soundtrack to a John Hughes movie that was never made... two tracks, both of them in fact A-sides, so we asked Mary Blount to make a fitting artwork that teams up with the style of the band and the songs... and the outcome is just perfect!!!"
