Artist description Andy once said that Topeka Shiner may be the best band to never record an album, play in front of a paying audience, or -- for that matter -- practice together. Humbling praise, to be sure, but Topeka Shiner's philosophy has always been simple: emphasize volume over skill, profanity over grace, and drink lots of alcohol. And if that doesn't work, write a rude song about the cruel misfortune of your friends and sing it over and over until somebody laughs.
