Altsounds - Shapes - New EP and tour dates

Birmingham's loudest three-piece, SHAPES, head out on tour next month in support of their brand new EP, their first for Big Scary Monsters Records.

'The Pasture, The Oil' brings together 6 slices of brutal, intricate musicianship, twisting and weaving its way through, finally coming to a head with 'You Butcher' and its crushing violin-led dramatics. An exciting prospect, Shapes look set to be busy this summer kicking off in May with a number of appearances across the UK and Ireland, including a slot on the BSM showcase at The Great Escape in Brighton.
