THE SHIVERS are a rock-pop group, based out of Queens, New York, comprising the exceptional talents of Keith Zarriello (lead vocals, guitar) and Jo Schornikow (vocals, keys/organ).

Keith is your typical East Coast American tortured neurotic / love-lorn romantic, and part time estate-agent;  Jo, your typical Australian travelling dreamer, virtuoso keyboard player, and part time church-organist.  Together, they’ve created one of the most beautifully compelling albums you’re likely to hear all year: MORE.

A prolific and enigmatic songwriter, Keith started performing in 2001 and, as The Shivers, has written, recorded and self-released 5 albums of bittersweet (although often just bitter or sweet) Telecaster-anthems; Charades (2004), Phone Calls (2006), Beaks To The Moon (2007), In The Morning (2009) and Sunset Psalms (2010).

Melbourne resident Jo relocated to New York after falling in love with Keith’s music, joining the group in 2006 and contributing her own songs.   The pair have toured extensively ever since, steadily building up a loyal following, and becoming a cult favourite within the American DIY gigging circuit.

Upon seeing the duo at SxSW in 2009, Johnny Lynch of The Pictish Trail / Fence Records immediately became hooked.  Subsequently, he invited the band over to Fence HQ in Fife for some shows, and pestered them endlessly to release a record …

… and now that record is ready.

MORE by The Shivers was released Monday, 26th September 2011 on Fence Records.
