Hatched
in the twilight months of ought nine, these five
young men came from all corners of the US
looking to do one thing: knock the dust off
roots music.
A
freewheelin', trashgrassin', folk tornado, the
Whiskey Shivers take traditional
instrumentation, soak it in gasoline and send it
into outer space. Breakneck speeds, killer
grooves and impeccable musicianship: it's enough
to make Bill Monroe himself do a double-take as
he spins in his grave.
With
upright bass, fiddle, washboard, banjo, guitar,
and reasonably priced merchandise, Whiskey
Shivers adds a fine layer of grit on top of the
hard-driving rhythms of traditional bluegrass.
They've been called everything from "trashgrass"
to "hardcore roots" to "crazy-assed redneck
music" — whatever the words, the meaning is the
same: Whiskey Shivers brings the house
down.
