[[Shiv-r]] (pronounced the same as 'shiver') are an Australian industrial band from Sydney. Comprised of founding members Lee Bulig, Pete Crane and Pete's wife, Wendy, Shiv-r have been slowly gaining popularity due to tours with bands such as Hanzel und Gretyl, Combichrist and Hocico. Their music is dark, rough and insanely catchy, blending industrial and rock to create a chaotic result of musical craziness.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: From “Hollow Mask”: “Every day I lose myself/I wish I could believe/that I’m really somebody else/when I’m down on my knees”. Wait, what?
* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: The name has been explained as their wanting to make music that would make people shiver (and shake them out of their stupor).
* [[Album Title Drop]]: ''Hold My Hand'' is a line from “The End Part 1” (“Hold my hand, scar my skin, broken as we wait for the end”).
* [[Anti -Love Song]]: “Taste”
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The intro to “Open My Vein” has a rather vicious revenge speech that has absolutely no context and has nothing to do with the song.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: Pete tends to break them out live.
* [[Country Matters]]: Lee had a very amusing one with his [https://web.archive.org/web/20120906042353/http://blog.shiv-r.com/2011/07/spl-kultube-cunt-tube-review.html review] of the SPL Kultube.
{{quote| '''Lee''': I thought the name was pronounced similar to ‘kull-tube’ [...] Anyway, the first friend I talked to about this unit was Thai. For Thai’s (though, I’m no expert), “L” sounds are sometimes interchangeable with “N”, so via a combination of that and my mispronunciation, it became something more like “Cunt-Tube”. I like it, and henceforth I will refer to this baby as my Cunt-Tube for the remainder of this review. How can you resist phrases like “the Cunt’s hot sticky tube adds an extra layer of thick cream to the mix’?}}
* [[Creator Couple]]
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The ''Parasite EP'' mainly songs that were slower and less aggressive than ''Hold My Hand''.
Line 34 ⟶ 44:
* [[Executive Meddling]]: ''Shadows Between Worlds'' has been delayed by their label because some of the bands they were working with haven’t yet completed their parts.
* [[Gorn]]: The video for “The End Part 1”.
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: It’s probably too hard to tell under the piercings and hairstyle, but Pete and Wendy were in [[Angelspit]]’s video for “Vena Cava”.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: The skirt Pete wears live.
* [[Lyrics Video Mismatch]]: All of them.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Onstage, Pete is loud, aggressive, energetic and forceful. Offstage, he’s quiet, laconic, thoughtful and very, very nice.
* [[Mind Screw]]: The video for “This Fix”
* [[New Sound Album]]: ''Hold My Hand'' was industrial rock, whereas ''This World Erase'' was more industrial pop-rock.
