The Shining were an English rock band formed in 2002. The band comprised of Duncan Baxter (Vocals), Dan MacBean (Guitar), Mark Heaney (Drums), Simon Jones (Bass) and Simon Tong (Guitar, Keyboards), the latter two both ex-members of The Verve. The bands originally featured former Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, however he chose to leave the group early in the band's lifetime. Lack of interest and motivation on Squire's part were reasons cited to this decision. They released three singles throughout 2002, and then their first album True Skies, all of which were minor successes. Since then there has been little to no activity from the band, and it is believed they split some time during 2003.
