The band Shiner formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1992 and released a series of influential albums over the next decade before disbanding in 2003. Although the group reunited in 2012, they didn't release any new music until 2020 but the album they put out that year and the one they released in 2025, Believe You Me, were met with critical praise and also saw the veteran act gain some new fans. KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin recently spoke with Allen Epley of Shiner.
