Shiverfield is the sound of pressure building — and breaking.
Hailing from the suburbs of Cincinnati, this four-piece blends hardcore urgency with emo introspection, and wraps it all in the sheer force of modern punk rock. Their songs crackle with tension — loud/quiet dynamics, personal collapse, protest anthems, and melodies sharp enough to scar.

With their third single “Paper Thrones”, Shiverfield turn outward. You don’t need to be a genius to know what — and who — this song is about. Written in response to the unrest shaking their country, the track is a protest wrapped in poetry: “Another headline built on sand / Shadows marching hand in hand / Truth’s a weapon they erase / While silence wears a borrowed face.” It’s political, personal, and undeniably Shiverfield — furious yet melodic, wounded yet unbroken.

Their upcoming debut EP Field Notes captures this duality: songs that burn and breathe in the same breath. “Paper Thrones” is its most defiant statement yet, proving that Shiverfield aren’t here to pose. They’re here to break the silence.

Shiverfield - Paper Thrones

A Match Into Water - CottontailVA

Battlecube Convergence

Thinking and thinking 
My mind is running in laps 
Now I'm drinking and drinking 
I am a schizo perhaps 

I feel so much pain 
I'm ready for a collapse 
My teeth gimme migraine 
Spine can't hold me in tact 

I'm laying flat on my back 
Tryna save myself 
The only way I been living 
Is to escape myself 

I am in very poor health 
Of the mind and my soul 
Human touch on my skin 
Makes my blood run cold 

This shit is getting old 
Why don't we turn on Nintendo 
Pretend I'm kenshiro 
While im blowing the endo 

Tell me what you think 
Reality really is 
If it really exists, tell me how 
To live in this shit 

The only time I feel alive 
In a virtual life 
Show me the power 
Everybody thinks I'm holding inside 

Better yet show me sane 
Show me how to control 
The fucking game 
Show me how I'm posed to be the hero 

I am alone 
This is the end 
I am alone 
Inside my head 
I am alone 
Let's pretend 
I am alone 
That we are dead 

I need help 
I just don't know if it's yours or mine 
I see hell 
Every fucking time I close my eyes 

I can't make sense 
Of a single thought in my mind 
Oh how I hate this 
If it's life and death just leave me behind 

Common misconcept
Just because I put up this music 
On the Internet 
You fucking think it's for your amusement 

This my first step 
First bit of effort in proof
I can feel in control 
When I'm creating a groove 

And now it's time to move 
The odds stack up against me 
Because of who my brother is 
They're gunna resent me

Ima cover my face 
Ima put up my guard 
Ion know how to stay safe 
Should I build a wall 

Open myself up 
Or close myself off 
What's the difference?
When nobody ever here for the haul

I keep on writing cuz I'm scared 
Of my future my demons 
But as long as I can breathe 
I know I can defeat it 

I am alone 
This is the end 
I am alone 
Inside my head 
I am alone 
Let's pretend 
I am alone 
That we are dead

LOST

ALONE

My son will not be bound 
My son will not be bound, oh 
My son will fly over your heads 
My son my son my son will soar 

"You stray away from your forge 
You peasent, what are you good for?" 
I knew that voice but somehow now 
It sounded like a roar 

"I rode up to your home myself 
After I received reports 
That you stole gold from one of my knights 
Oh are you really that poor?" 

I thought I had seen a taste of god 
Until now it just seemed like a facade 
Sometimes when something cuts your skin 
The bleeding never stops 

Next to him stood the Knight 
With the heart of gold 
The same one who 
Gave this pouch I hold 

You gave me this gold 
Said feed my son 
My god 
How can you be so cold 

Are you to punish me 
For my sins? 
When I've only done 
What I was told? 

My words just bounce 
Off of the armor 
That I forged to 
Protect their souls

NO MAN'S LAND

Chapter 2 - The Set Up

I will never go back to a day job
Working like a slave to get my pay up 
No you can move me with manipulation 
No I create what's in my heart so pay up 

I, cannot stand working I can't even hold a job 
Plus my license is suspended once again so I can't drive 
I got stopped the other day by some faggot ass cops 
Fucking pigs done hit me hard wit 7 tickets with no cause 

Now I got nowhere to go and no money to spend 
I just started a job but now I have to quit 
I just remembered I got kids all the world that say I am the shit 
I just remember I got half a zip 
Stuffed in a bag its time to get lit 
Feeling my pockets I got no more chips 
Leading me to have no more confidence 

Oh, I think the only option that I got left is music 
I done finally found a way to create so why not use it 
I've been walking around with my head down for too long 
Made myself a promise bout this life and made it to a song

I been working all damn week with no sleep 
I been dragging myself up outta bed, no time to eat 
I been falling asleep driving my car down the street 
I zoned out, almost hit a fucking wall in front of me 
My bank account is empty 
And so is my self esteem 
My gas tank is on E 
And so is my sanity 
But no one's touching my beats 
And no one's touching my words 
Ima rise up from defeat 
Bitch so fuck what you heard

WITHIN

chanterlude

In the end I just wanna be loved just like everyone else
At least if they existed, just someone to share in this wealth
If you die then I’m sorry don’t know what to say
I have seen all the ins and the outs of your brain
You cry when you want but you do what I tell you
And this is the part where I fail you

I had time just to think about what I should say
Came up empty handed I’m sorry I’m late
You know that you’ve got me stuck in a hard place
And yet here I stand punish me as you may

I’ve sat in my head and I’ve sorted some things 
At least that’s what I tell myself every day 
I lie to the mirror and keep the charade 
And show you the best in my silent dismay

I’ve run through my course and I’ve lost all my faith
If you feel the same then with me you should sing
Had time just to think about what I should say 
Came up empty handed I’m sorry I’m late
