The Shivering were a band from California that are probably best known for their compilation album, & Brand the Ground with Storm and Song, which puts together their scattered releases on Council, Owsla, and Alone. It's their most widely disseminated material and the only work from them that's made its way to streaming so far. Less heard is their excellent split 12" with Funeral Diner, which is for some reason omitted from the compilations, and even less heard than that is their sole LP, Behind Broken Eyes.
The Shivering played early-90s, late-80s inspired emocore, and do a good job of sounding a lot like Rites of Spring. Occasionally, some more modern screamo influences slip through on their later work, but Behind Broken Eyes especially is almost pure emocore. The LP was released in 2000, their split with Funeral Diner in 2001, and the compilation in 2004.
