newshapes

newshapes is a Glasgow-based pop-fueled post-hardcore trio that has quickly made a name for themselves in Scotland's alternative music scene. Formed just a couple of years ago, the band has already released their debut EP 'i hope this finds you' to significant acclaim. Notably, their single 'foreverend' has garnered over 400,000 streams, landing multiple Spotify editorial placements and BBC Radio One features. Recent releases include the single 'feel it', which features a guest appearance by Scott Kennedy from Bleed From Within, showcasing their ability to blend heaviness with heartfelt emotion. The band is known for their dynamic sound, which has drawn comparisons to emo and alternative styles of the 2010s. In their short career, they have performed with notable acts like Atreyu and The Blackout.

Looking forward, newshapes have hinted at releasing more music in 2024, promising a rapid follow-up to 'feel it' with a new musical direction. Their debut headline show in Edinburgh is scheduled for June 29, 2024, marking an exciting milestone for this rising band. Members Ian, Logan, and Troy are each passionate about the Scottish music scene and are influenced by a variety of genres, reflecting their diverse musical tastes in their output.
