The Shining was a British rock supergroup formed in 2000, comprising Duncan Baxter on vocals, Dan MacBean handling guitar duties, Mark Heaney on drums, Simon Jones playing bass, and Simon Tong contributing guitar and keyboards. Notably, both Jones and Tong were also associated with The Verve.
Originally called John Squire's Skunkworks, the group included former guitarist John Squire from Stone Roses and The Seahorses. Following Squire's early exit, the ensemble adopted the name The Shining. In 2002, they released three singles that achieved moderate chart performance. Their only album, True Skies, produced by Youth and launched through Zuma Recordings in September 2002, served as their main commercial release before the band's dissolution in 2003.
