Shiner Release Cover of My Bloody Valentine's "Only Shallow", Announce Rarities Collection

Shoegaze/post-hardcore group Shiner has announced that they will be releasing a brand new collection of rarities, The Y Section, on Friday, October 9th via Spartan Records. To celebrate the announcement, the band has released their cover of My Bloody Valentine’s “Only Shallow”.

In a press release, Shiner frontman Allen Epley stated:

We had been playing ‘Only Shallow’ on tour as a closer — always at the end because who wants to put their stupid songs after this behemoth? — and we were getting it down pretty well,” Shiner frontman Allen Epley recalls. “Not surprisingly, and thankfully, the original recording of this was not used. Instead we retreated to our home away from home, Westend Studios in Kansas City just over the state line in Kansas owned by our great friend Mike Miller, and banged it out one afternoon. We were prepared and Paul made a killer mix, and that’s what you hear today.” 

You can check out the band’s version of “Only Shallow” below, along with the album artwork and track listing.
