"Authentic '60s psychedelic rock over the past few years has undergone a strong international revival, and brings up a lot of young but only a few talented bands -- The Shivas -- are both! These four teenagers present a very remarkable debut album feat. 13 original songs of 69 min. running time -- long, but truly a varying album with interesting surprises to take you on a colorful journey (contains 8p. color booklet). Band leader Jared Wait-Molyneux presents his ideas of fresh 'alive' sound combined with a (poetical, mystic or political) message through his characteristic vocals, skillful and emotional guitar playing; but also using 'exotic' instruments such as sitar, dumbek, congas, djembe and mandolin to give it a kind of Beatles Sgt. Pepper feeling, but basically you hear on this album influences of Velvet Underground, Doors, Seeds or 13th Floor Elevators. The song 'Love' can be heard on Trip In Time Vol.2 / Psychedelic Rock Reflections and was released in Germany (2007). (For World In Sound insiders: 'Seems... history is repeating!' Not just the name, but the artwork and musicians-age remind of the ultra-legendary '60s heavy-psych group Mystic Siva -- The Shivas seem to be the closest musical reincarnation too!) -- 40 years later -- today -- is the time to watch out for the new 'psychedelic rock' generation, The Shivas are ready to blow your minds!"
