ormed in 2007 the band (Daniel Moody, Liam O’Neill, Alan Marshall and Tim Owen) quickly found themselves playing all across the country, including the ‘Borderline’ in London, the ‘Fleece’ in Bristol, ‘The Jericho’ in Oxford, ‘The Hobbit’ in Southampton and many more besides. They also headlined the Radio 1 Big Weekend Unofficial Fringe Festival and the Swindon Shuffle (the UK’s biggest unsigned music festival). They have also shared the stage with such bands as The Young Republic, Ox, Chris Helme (of The Seahorses) and Tom Baxter. During this time the band gained a reputation for stunning live shows and developed an unusually strong set of songs. Leaving the delusions of following latest trends to others The Shudders instead concentrate their efforts into creating songs with simple melodies and powerful rhythms and embrace their compositions with an open mind and a warm hearty hug…and more often than not copious amounts of rum and ale (thus the thirst quenching and refreshing sound). Each song has seemingly been composed with great purpose, each song meriting its own place on the album, each of the 12 songs helping to complete what is a very unique and beautiful album.

“I guess we pull in influences from different spectrums, there are four people in the band and we each like to all draw upon our own individual influences. I think that shows in all our songs. Certainly there are flavours of country, indie, traditional Irish, rock and pop to savour.”

The Shudders began recording their debut album in the spring of 2009 at the picturesque Mooncalf Studios, alongside Nick Beere who engineered and helped with the production.
