By: Caryn Robbins Dec. 05, 2017
The video for Whiskey Shivers new song "Reckless" continues with the bands tradition of creating visually arresting and innovative videos. Wadleigh's concept was simple - find a way to make a room that could spin in order to generate enough force to make the band stick to the walls - all while playing the song. Enter a couple of MIT educated mechanical engineers, an army of volunteers, a 360 camera rig, and a bunch of breakable dinnerware and you get "Reckless." The band admits that contraption was a "DIY carnival ride that could have gone way wrong."

About Whiskey Shivers:A diverse group of masterfully talented musicians from Austin, TX, whose punk-influenced style stands out from the traditional bluegrass world, Whiskey Shivers have made a name for themselves with their genre-pushing "trashgrass" sound. On Some Part of Something, their fifth album, Whiskey Shivers hit their stride, refining their unique sound in the studio while still capturing the infectiously chaotic feeling of their legendary live shows. Despite their joyful demeanor and contagious energy, Whiskey Shivers' songs are often heavy with traditional bluegrass themes and imagery lamenting universal struggles - work, pain, sin, regret and death. Infusing their songs with punk rock energy and a darkly comical light-heartedness, stretching the bluegrass genre to fit whatever they feel is right, it is in this contrast where Whiskey Shivers' shine.
