San Francisco's Shiver played psychedelic rock like many other bands from San Francisco in the flower power era of the late1960s/early 1970s,
but what differentiated them was their sheer raw energy, making these acid rockers equally at home withthe Haight hippy set and greasy
redneck bikers. Their only album, recorded on a two-track recorder in 1972 with no overdubsand released in 2000, captures acid rock in its
heyday, with crazed guitar solos, a wild rhythm section, and screamed vocals."Tough as Nails" and "Bone Shaker" are full-throttled aggressive
assaults, while "Interstellar Vision," and the lengthy "Alpha Man"slow things down slightly, creating a more psychedelic and space-rock-esque
sound.
