The Shining have launched their brand new website. To celebrate the launch of theshiningare.com the band are streaming two full previously unheard tracks from their forthcoming album ‘True Skies’ for a limited time only on the site.

In addition to this we also have some live video footage of their next single ‘I Wonder How’ The footage was shot at the band's sold out debut London Gig at Kings College in April.

The site is based on a pirate TV station primarily consisting of 9 active channels (Including 'Sight & Sound', 'Gallery', 'Live' and 'Story so far'), but as there are 99 to choose from who knows where you might end up if you input the wrong digit.

In other news, The Shining have announced a series of live dates to coincide with the release of the bands second single 'I Wonder How'. The tour, starting at Peterborough’s Met Lounge on the 17th of June will take the bands pulsating brand of rock and soul around the country before finishing off with a date at this years Glastonbury festival on June 29th.

Released on June 24th 2002 by Zuma Recordings, 'I Wonder How' is the first full release from The Shining. The single, produced by Youth, is released on two formats, CD and limited edition 10”vinyl and includes tracks that will not be available on the bands forthcoming debut album.

The Shining are Simon Jones and Simon Tong, both formerly of The Verve and Duncan Baxter, Dan Macbean and Mark Heaney, all previously unknown. Whilst The Shining have inherited something of The Verve’s sonic majesty, one listen to the next single 'I Wonder How' is enough to demonstrate that not only is this a new band, but the second seminal rock band that the pair have been involved in.

“Swagger, granite anthem tunesmithery and heavy northern soul. The Shining are the U.K’s next great rock and roll band” N.M.E.

The Shining release their debut album ‘True Skies’ later this year.
