Shapes started out in January 2008, made up of three long term friends; the band play a passionately convicted music drawing in the power of post-hardcore, the technicality of mathcore and the uplifting fist-in-the air ethic of punkrock.

Having toured their asses of through their short existence the band have been snapped up by top UK indie label Big Scary Monsters, who recentyl released their second EP 'The Pasture, The Oil' and Japanese label Zankyo records are releasing Shapes in Japan.

Despite joining other labels, Shapes are still happily part of the Godmonkey family.
