Mach Tiver - S/T 7"

Mach Tiver - S/T 7"

Mach Tiver was a 2 piece emo band from Trenton, Ontario that existed during the late 90’s. Made up of brother and sister Adam and Shannon Goodwin, Mach Tiver played punk rockish emo in the same vein as Shotmaker or Heroin.

Admittedly I don’t know too much about Mach Tiver, but from what I’ve read they were a 2 piece bass and drum combo, with Adam providing the shouted vocals and bass and Shannon drumming and screaming. This 7” is pretty relentless and driving with the only real break in speed coming at about halfway through the last song. For a 2 piece this record has as much punch and melody as a traditional guitar/bass/drum band, and is another great example of how amazing Canadian emo is.
