Saint Shivers is a rock and roll trio from Long Beach, CA featuring Kelsey Landazuri (guitar/vocals), Albert Rodriguez (bass), and Grant Contreras (drums/vocals). Their versatile catalog is boldly uncompromising, blending the raw energy of rock and punk with the thoughtful storytelling of Americana.

The band is characterized by their stripped-down yet freewheeling sound, distinguished by Landazuri’s classic twang and effect-driven guitar. Erratic, overdriven solos are anchored by Rodriguez’s groovy, blues-inspired basslines and low end punch. Bringing it all together is the steady drum work by Contreras, showcasing a diverse range from heavy-hitting beats to delicate brushwork.

Their medley of influences seamlessly come together in a refreshing spin on nostalgic sounds, enriched by recurring themes of societal strife, lost love, and religious exploration. Saint Shivers takes you back in time to a 70s sound that was waiting to be discovered. A sound that stands as a pillar of non-conformity and pushes the bounds of modern rock and roll.
