Shiner has always been about evolution, dodging genre labels and pushing musicalboundaries since their inception in the early '90s. Known for their punishing yetmelodic approach to rock, the band’s sound has morphed from the raw, untamedenergy of their early years to something more refined, layered, and introspectiveon their latest release,BELIEVEYOUME.Schadenfreude, the band's last record,released just as the world was shuttingdown in early 2020. "Great timing on our part," says Josh Newton (guitar)."Schadenfreudewas dark and maybe a little claustrophobic, which makes sense,in retrospect.This new record,BELIEVEYOUME,feels more open and moreimmediate. We came in with fewer pre-written ideas and just reacted to each otherin real time. Less brooding, more instinct. Still heavy, still weird—just breathing alittle more."Two musicians—husband-and-wife duo Mario \[guitar, synths, vocals\] and Sarah Quintero \[bass, guitar, vocals\]—simply pick up their instruments and mainline dense distortion, spacey soundscapes, and unnervingly serene vocal transmissions directly from the heart. This unpredictable, yet unassuming sound quietly heralded their arrival in 2016 on the D.I.Y. debut LP, Tidals. Brooklyn Vegan stumbled upon the project and streamed “Walls.” The song eventually entranced musician and producer Aaron Harris (ISIS/Palms) who shared it with his Palms singer and Deftones frontman Chino Moreno. An invite to open the Deftones summer tour followed as the band would go on to share the stage with everyone from Melvins, Hum, and Glassjaw to Pelican and Pallbearer. Ipecac Recordings fell under the band’s spell and signed them. The Harris-produced Seismic dropped on Ipecac Recordings in 2017 to acclaim from Revolver, Metal Injection, New Noise, MetalSucks, and many others. Between tours, 2018 saw them reveal the Hanging By Faith remix EP and one-off single “Kiss the Ring” \[feat. Allen Epley\].
