SHIVA are a Melbourne based goth/post-punk band with heavy guitars and dancey beats. SHIVA is comprised of; Jarvis (vocals, synth, drum programming), Jet (Bass, Vocals), and Sam (Guitar, SFX).

Sam and Jarvis met one afternoon at Weekenderfest at the Corner Hotel, and instantly started bonding over music. Later, Jet and Jarvis met at a house party and after discovering that Jet played Bass, we agreed to keep in touch and form a band at some point. After the disbanding of Sam’s band HP and the hiatus of Jarvis’ band UZUMAKI, they decided to start jamming together. They then struck upon a spooky sound that influenced them both to start writing songs inspired by the 80's post-punk and darkwave scene. They contacted Jet, and SHIVA was concieved.

Their first two songs, Seance // Candlewax, were written spontaniously in Jarvis’ basement. Their good friend Ben (of Panda Rosa) stepped in to record and produce these songs in his makeshift bedroom studio in Ashburton.

SHIVA's latest single, Curse, is a sleek, beautiful yet abrasive song, complete with a rough lo-fi recording by the aforementioned Ben Fitchett. 'Curse' was originally intended to be featured on their upcoming EP, however they decided that they would release this free single as a present for all their listeners.

Since the release of their two track demo and their single, SHIVA is looking forward to recording their debut EP, and playing a bunch of shows in the near future.
