The Piss Shivers have the distinction (along with such groups as Flag of Democracy and McRad) as being one of the longest running punk rock bands in Pennsylvania. Starting in the winter of 1993 singer/guitarist Cedric Crouch (a.k.a.Cedric Rokkgod) began making demo tapes with a multi track recorder and a drum machine. Realizing the limitations this created for live shows, a flesh and blood line up in the form of Dion Blade (bass) and Robert Alper (drums) soon followed. Crouch, who is the primary song writer, has been the only constant in the group. The rest of the band, primarily bassists and drummers have been a revolving line up based on their availability to record and tour. The band has extensively played shows and toured on the east coast and released numerous recordings such as the cds "Help, My Dog's A Skinhead", "Hepped Up On Goofballs" and "We're Cheap Dates" and has also appeared on many compilations put out by labels from the U.S., Ireland and Japan.
