Quivers

In the organizer's words:

"It's the sound of bedsit 1980s college-rock thrust into the big-tent environs of 21st-century indie, like a Go-Betweens with Coachella-conquering ambitions or a Smiths with greater pub sing-along appeal. And it's absolutely glorious."
- Pitchfork

Melbourne, Australia'sQuivers are bringing their cathartic, lyrical jangle-pop to Europe and the UK for the first time in December 2024 to celebrate their third release Oyster Cuts, out in August via Merge Records. The road to this moment has been winding - and of the best kind: a gig with KEXP, a tour of the US and Australia, and even R.E.M. sliding into the band's DMs with fire emojis after covering Out of Time.

As musical reference points, the new album is driven by melodies reminiscent of Galaxie 500 and The Pretenders, with both Sam and Bella taking lead and group vocals from all of them. It's sunshine pop with blood in the water, with ribbon loops circling like sharks and twin guitars glistening as bass and drums roll on like waves.

Quivers believe in ripped glory, that live music should sometimes fall apart and be a genuine interaction with every audience. So they will continue to tackle love and grief and the brilliance of friendship from all angles and hope to meet you on the next winding road.
