Shiner have a sound, but it’s not easy to classify. You can get close by mentioning their ’90s peers, such as Jawbox, who also balanced melody, heaviness, and precision.
Still, nothing ever feels complete – phrases like “heavy shoegaze” or “heavy alternative” seem apt, but don’t fully capture it. BELIEVEYOUME is a great place to start if you are new to the band. If you are a longtime fan, this is the follow-up to the masterful The Egg you have been waiting for. It’s Shiner at the peak of their powers, delivering a juiced-up version of the sound that has had fans enthralled for nearly three decades.
BELIEVEYOUME is their first release since 2020’s Shadenfreude, which marked their return after a nearly 20-year absence.
