i think alot of it is marketing. Another big factor is bands like this and failure don't appeal to most people. I'll admit i didn't like shiner or failure on the first listen, it takes a few listens to get into them, i feel like alot of people don't give these bands that chance hence their obscurity within the scene. It all feeds into each other, unconventional doesn't always sell so marketing teams don't put as much effort into these guys, and then obvisouly insuffcient marketing leads to lack of exposure. Unfortunately, alot of great bands will stay largely unnoticed or appreciated simply due to lack of paitence from listeners.
They chose to be independent. There was great shame in the industry back in the 90s to sell out to major label and all it's advantages. I saw these guys and dozens more play dives and open mic nights in kcmo back in high school. All were every bit as good as anything on the radio.
heels and toes, knees and elbows, twigs and steel that reverberated in a way it drew me from the forest vegan, but unnatural moral, but harmful deadly but immortal dead, and mortal
The bridge feels like dawn, as it builds and builds if feels like sunlight teasing over the horizon, then as the last chorus kicks in its like the sunlight finally breaks in the distance and floods the view with dazzling and blinding light. Fucking exceptional songwriting
This sounds so fricking good! The production, the mix, the arrangement, the songwriting and performance itself! To me, it doesn't get any better than this!
best vocal melody I've heard from them & best in a while of any song. Excellent work Shiner, ooooooo those guitars, drum, bass, rock is still relevant.
Yeah this melodically probably the best I've heard from them. And I was definitely a fan...so weird I stumbled upon this. I hadn't thought of them since I was 14 and the egg came out. Just relistened to that, was still good, but I think I actually like this better. Better songwriting it feels like. Guitar tone is great too
Wow! This music video is amazing! The look, shots, lighting, camera angles, imagery... just awesome! And the band capture that creepy, dead, lifeless mannequin look so well... maybe a little too well, haha. Amazing work!
I was on the old fansite and it had a link to the new one. New album dropping? Beyond awesome, I was delighted to see they still tour and are making music. I thought they broke up.
Lyrics (to the best of my ability lol) When you’re feeling black and blue Nothing makes you want to move Hanging out is such a bore And everyone is such a whore When you lose your will to see Nothing makes you want to breathe Masturbation has lost it’s fun I came enough for number one Cold in our sun colors are bright again Cold in our sun stars are aligned again Cold in our sun life as a mannequin Reach inside the candy box Finding what you’ve lost Your shaking hands will find a dream It’s waiting there for you and me If you feel you’ll never win Push it all away Maybe when you learn to fly The taste will open up the sky Cold in our sun colors are bright again Cold in our sun stars are aligned again Cold in our sun life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin Cold in our sun colors are bright again Cold in our sun stars are aligned again Cold in our sun life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin (Corrections are welcome. I did my best just figuring it out from listening. Thank you!)
Awesome! In 2020 I caught Covid, broke my ankle, lost most of my income, and I gritted my teeth as the worst president in the history of our nation continued to not surprise me with just how bad a human being he is on daily basis. SHINER however, came through with a slab of beautiful prime heavy art rock. It’s not a complete wash. I look forward to seeing you guys out Seattle way in 2021. Stay healthy!
Of course I'm a little late with the lyrics: When you're feeling black and blue Nothing makes you want to move Hanging out is such a bore And everyone is such a whore When you lose your will to see Nothing makes you want to breathe Masturbation’s lost it's fun I came enough for number one Cold in the sun Colors are bright again Cold in the sun Stars are aligned again Cold in the sun Life as a mannequin Reach inside the candy box Finding what you lost Your shaky hands will find the dream That's waiting there for you and me If you feel you never win Push it all away again Remember when you learned to fly A taste will open up the sky Cold in the sun Colors are bright again Cold in the sun Stars are aligned again Cold in the sun Life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin Cold in the sun Colors are bright again Cold in the sun Stars are aligned again Cold in the sun Life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin Life as a mannequin
Hi David - I wrote the script in February. The video was shot in one day in early March before quarantine. We did however social distance and use hand sanitizer during the whole shoot. Our makeup team used N-95 masks since they were so close to the band. Most shoots are like a family get together - the C-19 definitely made the shoot a little on the strange side.
I think you're missing the metaphor. Shiner is a band that's back from a 20 year hiatus. Not unlike pulling your dusty old marionettes out of the closet and working out the kinks.
Just found this band today, always amazes me that bands like Shiner and Failure can make such great music and still be so unknown

Shiner's Secret Weapon is Paul. So secret, he doesn't even Exist......the bass slides at the end of Low Hanging Fruit are just crushing.
Yes.
I am so incredibly happy there is new Shiner.
new shiner, new hum in the same year. wtf.
There is nothing more, gut-busting/soul-crushing/Floor-punching, than the hook of a shiner song.... Absolutely blasted.....
heels and toes, knees and elbows, twigs and steel
that reverberated in a way
it drew me from the forest
vegan, but unnatural
moral, but harmful
deadly but immortal
dead, and mortal

Holy smokes! The first time I felt alive in months! So excited for this Shiner release!😁🤘
How are there only 7 thousand views rn? This whole album is so good!!
14k+ as of now. Let's keep spreading the word.
100% killer shot!! Almost 20 years of silence... Absolutely brilliant, love this video!
@ Yes - Inlet is amazing. I was late on knowing that both bands had new albums.
This sounds so fricking good! The production, the mix, the arrangement, the songwriting and performance itself! To me, it doesn't get any better than this!
This is really haunting song, the vocal melody is just exquisite
This rocks! They remind me of chore!
because of them, i want to go to kansas city someday. deep affection from japan:)
best vocal melody I've heard from them & best in a while of any song. Excellent work Shiner, ooooooo those guitars, drum, bass, rock is still relevant.

Lyrics (to the best of my ability lol)
When you’re feeling black and blue
Nothing makes you want to move
Hanging out is such a bore
And everyone is such a whore
When you lose your will to see
Nothing makes you want to breathe
Masturbation has lost it’s fun
I came enough for number one
Cold in our sun colors are bright again
Cold in our sun stars are aligned again
Cold in our sun life as a mannequin
Reach inside the candy box
Finding what you’ve lost
Your shaking hands will find a dream
It’s waiting there for you and me
If you feel you’ll never win
Push it all away
Maybe when you learn to fly
The taste will open up the sky
Cold in our sun colors are bright again
Cold in our sun stars are aligned again
Cold in our sun life as a mannequin
Life as a mannequin
Cold in our sun colors are bright again
Cold in our sun stars are aligned again
Cold in our sun life as a mannequin
Life as a mannequin
Life as a mannequin
(Corrections are welcome. I did my best just figuring it out from listening. Thank you!)

"This should be played at high volume, preferably in a residential area."
Dude, that look at the end... I'm scared.
Sequel to Christ Sized Shoes confirmed 😂👍👍👍
You mean "My Life As A Housewife"
a sequel... my exact thoughts! 😆
Tomorrow night!
F#@K YEAH!!
Awesome! In 2020 I caught Covid, broke my ankle, lost most of my income, and I gritted my teeth as the worst president in the history of our nation continued to not surprise me with just how bad a human being he is on daily basis.

I wanna hear them in Seattle, too
fuck yes, boys
This is badass as fuck.
💜💛🖤
Fucking love this!!! 😁
Well that was creepy. The little boy is the son of a friend of mine and he enjoyed being in a music video.
👏👏👏🥂🥂🥂
Of course I'm a little late with the lyrics:

Cold in the sun

Life as a mannequin
Find a heavier sound, I dare you. Actually, find it, share it, and lets listen to the best bands together.
Life as a man, again
Was this produced post-quarantine, abiding by social distancing and mask recommendations? It almost seems it...
Hi David - I wrote the script in February. The video was shot in one day in early March before quarantine. We did however social distance and use hand sanitizer during the whole shoot. Our makeup team used N-95 masks since they were so close to the band. Most shoots are like a family get together - the C-19 definitely made the shoot a little on the strange side.
@@TobyLawrence Crazy! Amazing video.
@@DavidDiLillo Thanks David!
Dood, fur real..
wow only 7k views... makes me want to lose hope on humanity
The song is called "Life as a Mannequin" but in the video they're clearly marionettes. 0/10
I think you're missing the metaphor. Shiner is a band that's back from a 20 year hiatus. Not unlike pulling your dusty old marionettes out of the closet and working out the kinks.
