The Shine On

Vancouver, BC’s the shine on began in fledging forms in the winter of 2003 as a new beginning and new identity for singer/songwriter Geoff Nilson. After wadding through many different bands and styles he struck out on his own to form a voice that he could present to the world. Born on Vancouver Island but raised in the beautifully bland yet always bustling Surrey, BC, his location at the border between rural and suburban played a significant role in the formation of his sound. Combining 60’s pop and country with the ambient vocal structures of 90’s avant garde, the shine on manage to inject a sense of both claustrophobia and open spaces into their music and in doing so they've run their brand of arty confusion through a 60’s pop filter. With the addition of Martin Danyluk (guitar/keyboard/backing vocals), Ben Musaev (bass) and Brad Danyluk (drums/percussion) the shine on moves forward, excited to showcase their brand of indie pop. the shine on's debut ep, young flyers, is due for release on Broken Oak Records in the fall of 2005.
