The Piss Shivers are an American old school punk rock band formed in 1994. The band, which is based out of the Philadelphia suburbs, are also occasionally referred to as the "Pee Shivers" when played on the radio. Starting in the winter of 1993 singer/guitarist Cedric Crouch (a.k.a. Cedric Rokkgod) began making demo tapes with a multi track recorder and a drum machine. Realizing the limitations this created for live shows, a flesh and blood line up in the form of Dion Blade (bass) and Robert Alper (drums) soon followed. Crouch, who is the primary songwriter, has been the only constant in the group. The rest of the band, primarily bassists and drummers have been a revolving line up based on their availability to record and tour. The band has extensively played shows and toured on the east coast and released numerous recordings such as the CDs Help, My Dog's A Skinhead!, Hepped Up On Goofballs and We're Cheap Dates, and has also appeared on many compilations put out by labels from the U.S., Ireland and Japan.

After the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces in the spring of 2003, several high level Iraqi generals were found screaming “I live at the dinner!” for extended periods of time. Coincidentally, the band’s whereabouts could not be consistently verified in late 2002 through the summer of 2003. This has led to widespread speculation in the information operations community that the band’s raw punk rock was harnessed as a non-lethal weapon to limit casualties and shock the enemy.
