Shiv and the Carvers announce debut album Always Watching with "Screens" single

The video places Shiv in a blue-lit room with a television, a baseball bat, and the instruction "DO NOT BREAK OR HIT DOOR". Bortolon-Vettor says: "Shiv is experiencing overwhelming dread, being sucked into a TV screen with no way out... the only way out is to smash the hell out of it."

was produced by Jesse Turnbull (Netherwilds, Lia Pappas-Kemps, Tokyo Police Club), taking in some atypical instrumentation. Shiv played her grandad's fiddle on "Executionary" and trumpet on "Squealerz", while Violet de Rege-Braga of RrroachhH contributed theremin to "Screens". The album roasts tech billionaires, crooked cops, purity culture, and everyday abuses of power via their bold, joyously ramshackle style of garage-punk.

The band are touring the UK and Europe, with a stop at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on 17 September. Their UK run includes shows in London, Brighton, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, and Newcastle upon Tyne. "Screens" is out now.
