The New Shapes are Mark Roberts (vocals and guitar), David O'Connor (guitars), Euan Hinshelwood (bass and keys) and Adam Lambert (drums).The New Shapes have played London more than enough times to gain a familiarity with themselves and what they want to do. They recorded with Liam Watson at his Toerag studios in East London, garnering much attention for their exceptional songwriting talent. In August 2005 they released their striking debut single 'You got me running round' to great acclaim, scoring XFM playlisting and impressing Claire Sturgess enough for her to choose it as her 'record of the week'. And with...

There is more than one artist with this name: 1. The original The Shapes released their "Part Of The Furniture" EP in 1979, which contained such memorable tracks as "Wot's For Lunch, Mum?
