Shiva

VINYL RIP 7"
Formed in Bristol, England in 1979, Shiva was a NWOBHM band that wanted to reach the top of the charts and rule the universe, even firing their original guitar player and drummer for more seasoned musicians to do it. While it may have helped the band's sound, they unfortunately never saw the success their music deserved. The band considers this single their best and it's easy to see why. It might be too proggy for some of you, but after a few spins I really started digging it.

Rock Lives On

    Just discovered your blog - so glad! This one kills - to my ears it's the secret one-off Sting did with Blue Oyster Cult one pill-soaked weekend. Looking for more Shiva!
