About Shiner
Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
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.
With BELIEVEYOUME, Shiner has created a record that feels both immediate and timeless. It’s the band at their most honest, raw, and self-aware. While Shiner's sonic influences continue to evolve, they remain rooted in the shared experiences that have always bonded them as musicians. “Honestly, the biggest influence is just the band itself,” says Malinowski. “Our sound has grown and changed so much over the years, and that evolution led us to this record.” As for their plans to bring it all to the stage, the band is already looking ahead to an extensive tour in 2025, including dates across the U.S., Europe, and beyond. “The plan is to tour the universe and beyond,” Epley jokes, “but in all seriousness, we’ll be coming to most places soon.”
From their early days of shaking the walls of basement shows to their latest sonic adventure, Shiner has never stopped pushing forward. And as always, they’re still making music for themselves...and for anyone who’s ready to listen.

About Sleep Tactics
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Sleep Tactics is a Philadelphia-based math rock/post-hardcore band on a mission to deliver songs that fly in the face of the planned obsolescence model. Originally conceived as a solo studio project by guitarist and vocalist Dan Smith, the band emerged in 2019 with a debut over half a decade in the making—an uncompromising record that earned a spot on Fecking Bahamas’ list of the Top 10 Math Rock Albums of the Year.
After a brief run of live shows that same year, Smith began work on a follow-up during the pandemic. Recording began in June 2021, culminating in a genre-defying, fiercely detailed album that expands upon the band’s math rock foundations. Now featuring a revitalized four-piece lineup—Cameron Davidson (guitar), Ariel Golden (bass), and Caleb Kerr (drums)—Sleep Tactics returns with their most ambitious material to date.
