Scottish four-piece newshapes have been announced as support on Dream State’s upcoming UK tour this September, alongside Knife Bride across eight dates around the UK. newshapes will be joining the tour from 6th September in Newcastle, calling at Sheffield, Bristol, Milton Keynes, Wolverhampton and Brighton along the way before wrapping up in Norwich on 13th September. Tickets are available here.
Speaking of the upcoming tour, the band have said “Hugely grateful to Dream State for inviting us to join them on this one. We’re playing some places we’ve never been before and a few cities people have been asking us to come to for a while now! It’s gonna be great to finally bring our show to those fans who have been waiting to see us live, and I’m sure we’ll make plenty of new friends as well along the way!”
The tour lands hot on the heels of newshapes’ own headline run earlier this year and the release of their three-track EP somehow i still believe, out now via LAB Records. Listen to the EP here. Continuing to make their stamp on the UK’s alternative scene, the EP is a cathartic exploration of faith and betrayal. Combining their influences of emo, post-hardcore and indie throughout its three tracks, somehow i still believe introduces the story of an individual battling with the loss of their faith and features themes of anger, hopelessness and responses of bargaining.
Having recently finished a tour with Never Easy and Love Is Noise across Europe and the UK, newshapes are quickly becoming one of the UK’s most promising forces in heavy-hitting alternative music. Signing to LAB Records, last year’s sophomore EP, a conversation with myself, has now amassed over a million streams on Spotify alone. Setting themselves up for an exciting year ahead, the band are back in the studio recording new music this summer.
