Shoe Shiners began in elementary school as a group of friends who sort of knew how to kind of play instruments, and have come quite a long way to releasing their first full-length titled Fashion House. The band currently is comprised of both David Skodje and Shane Vader on guitar and vocals, Tim Posl on bass, and Leo Vader on drums. They sport a somewhat unique post-punky alternative sound, influenced by Minneapolis groups like The Plastic Constellations and Lifter Puller, as well as some older stuff, like Thin Lizzy and Queen.
