SHINER plays FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB w/ special guest Bursting

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS: SHINER $25 General Admission // $30/seat reserved tables SHINER has always been about evolution, dodging genre labels and pushing musical boundaries since their inception in the early '90s. Known for their punishing yet melodic approach to rock, the band’s sound has morphed from the raw, untamed energy of their early years to something more refined, layered, and introspective on their latest release, BELIEVEYOUME. Schadenfreude, the band's last record, released just as the world was shutting down in early 2020. "Great timing on our part," says Josh Newton (guitar). "Schadenfreude was dark and maybe a little claustrophobic, which makes sense, in retrospect. This new record, BELIEVEYOUME, feels more open and more immediate. We came in with fewer pre-written ideas and just reacted to each other in real time. Less brooding, more instinct. Still heavy, still weird—just breathing a little more." Recorded over a series of multi-day sessions at bass player / engineer Paul Malinowski’s Kansas City studio (Massive Sound), BELIEVEYOUME took shape quickly and with purpose. "Initially, it was a process of sifting through phone recordings, picking what hit us, and then going straight into the studio to flesh it out,” says Allen Epley (vocals / guitar). “The results felt immediate, with no room for overthinking.” While most of the basic recording was all done live, additional instrumentation was tracked by Josh Newton (guitars / keyboards) at Massive Sound and at his home in LA, and Epley's vocals were tracked at his home studio in Chicago. Once the songs were locked, occasional touring member and mixer Mario Quintero (Spotlights) and Malinowski fine-tuned the mixes before handing the record off to Mike Nolte at Eureka Mastering in Portland. In the end, the band's mix of live, spontaneous energy and post-production prowess shaped the final sound, a blend of the band’s signature heaviness with a newfound openness.
