Shiner is an American post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Kansas City, Missouri that was active from 1992 to 2003. Since 2012 Shiner has been playing several shows a year. The band's new record Schadenfreude was released May 8, 2020, with touring to follow that was since cancelled due to COVID-19.

History

Shiner formed in 1992 and quickly found wide exposure, releasing a vinyl EP in 1993 and touring with acts such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Chore, Jawbox, Season to Risk, The Jesus Lizard, and Girls Against Boys.[1] Shiner's influences include Jesus Lizard, Slint, Swervedriver, Melvins, Failure, and Chavez.[2][3]

The group released their first LP, Splay (recorded at Steve Albini's Chicago studio) in 1996,[4] and a second album, Lula Divinia the next year. Sub Pop took notice, and released a 7" single of the group's songs "Sleep it Off" and "Half Empty". Following this the band toured with Hum in 1998.[1] A third full-length, Starless, was released on a label run by members of Descendents, Owned and Operated, in 2000. A fourth LP, The Egg, would follow before the group broke up in 2002.[5] This was recorded and produced at Matt Talbott's recording studio, Great Western Record Recorders in Tolono IL and released by DeSoto Records.

Shiner broke up in 2003 after more than a year of touring behind The Egg. Their story was by no means an unusual one; they simply ran their course, building up a cult fanbase in a decade of releasing music, and reaching the logical endpoint of that arc. The album "The Egg" grew an audience over time "Yet a funny thing tends to happen when an album is left alone for several years. As file-sharing and social media grew in the time after The Egg was released, so did its stature."[6]

After announcing that the band was breaking up, Shiner scheduled a final performance. The final show was held at The Madrid Theater in Kansas City[7] on January 25, 2003. Houston, Dirtnap, and Elevator Division opened.

Shiner reunited in 2012.[8]

Shiner's newest record, Schadenfreude, was released May 8, 2020.[9] The single "Life as a Mannequin" was released February 28, 2020.[10][11][12]

The subsequent tour was postponed due to COVID-19.[13]

Josh Newton is the guitar/synth player/mastermind for Sie Lieben Maschinen with Jason Gerken on drums. Allen Epley is in The Life and Times.

The band also has the song "Third Gear Scratch" included on the soundtrack of the video game Saints Row 2.[14]
