SHUDDER TO THINK Post Hardcore Art Rock Pioneers Kick Off First Tour In Over a Decade This Week Watch Performances of "Hit Liquor" & "So Into You" Live From Riot Fest

“(Shudder To Think’s ‘Pony Express record’ is) one of the strangest, most exhilarating products of the post-’Nevermind’ alternative rock boom ...a unicorn, powerful and iridescent and lithe, in shiny black latex. A sexy horse, charging triumphantly into the unknown.” - PITCHFORK “a band forever rearranging the uncomplicated urgency of hardcore punk so that it could better accommodate the rococo wowee of its singer, Craig Wedren.” - WASHINGTON POST

In a recent Sunday Review, Pitchfork gave the album a 9.1 and noted it as, "one of the strangest, most exhilarating products of the post-Nevermind alternative rock boom... by D.C. hardcore alchemists Shudder to Think” and Stereogum noted it as “a masterwork of alternate dimension progressive pop.” By the late-90’s, Shudder to Think dove into the world of scoring films and creating music for soundtracks with the 1998 releases of Jesse Peretz’s First Love, Last Rites; Lisa Cholodenko’s High Art and the Todd Haynes epic, Velvet Goldmine. Wedren and Larson have gone on to be prolific film and television composers with Wedren working on YELLOWJACKETS, Wet Hot American Summer, The School Of Rock, Laurel Canyon and more; and Larson working on Our Idiot Brother, The Skeleton Twins, Juliet, Naked and High Fidelity (TV series), among others.
