I own The Shivvies’ excellent debut LP, but my first association with the band is stickers. Somehow, I have a lot of stickers from Holland’s finest pop punk trio — small ones, huge ones, and everything in between. They seem to find their way to my house through the magic of solid mail days. These dudes clearly know to put their name out by flooding the market with them, and I expect there will be more stickers soon because the band is set to release their sophomore LP, Punk Boys, this Summer.
While recording the album in the studio, the trio (Marien of The Windowsill, The Apers, Giant Eagles, along with Michiel and Robert of The Real Danger) also laid down four additional tracks. These include a cover for a yet-to-be-announced tribute compilation and three songs for a 10” EP titled Take On The Night.
The EP is set to drop simultaneously with the Punk Boys LP on July 1st on Shield Recordings, but you can already stream as well as pre-order it (link below). I highly recommend doing so. The three songs, with the title track penned by the band’s buddy Jerry Hormone, are a perfect appetizer for what’s to come and a reminder of The Shivvies’ classic pop punk charm.
