History
Established in 1992 by Shawn Scott alongside twins Mike and Matt Johnson, Shyne Factory initially issued two EPs during 1994 and 1995, followed by their first full album, Candy Coated, released in 1997.
By the year 2000, the group received a nomination for an East Coast Music Award. That same year, their self-directed music video for "I'm Not Sorry" achieved frequent rotation on MuchMusic.
Throughout their career, the band maintained a significant following across eastern Canada. Notably, they performed at Halifax’s Snow Jam festival in 2001. Their 2003 release Hell or High Water was supported by a nationwide tour that included stops in Montreal.
