The Shapers are a 3-piece punk rock band from France.

These three friends enjoy skateboarding, having fun together and travelling the world. Drawing mainly inspiration and style from the Californian punk rock and skate scenes, touring and meeting new people is definitely what they like best about playing.

The rock scene being not so big in France, their will of discovering new cultures and new influences brought them to China and Indonesia where they toured in 2011.

After the release of their first album Everybody Needs to Have a Dream in summer 2012, they came back to Indonesia for a two-month tour where they received massive support from the fans and the media.

In 2013, they won a music competition for best new French band, followed by their first tour in North America where they had the chance to share the stage with punk rock legends NOFX, Pennywise and more. They are now focusing on writing new songs for their second album and starting to think about the next tour’s destination.

The Shapers guarantee high energy shows, as a catchy and dynamic reflection of their skateboarder lifestyle. They love to connect with the fans and other bands so don’t hesitate to catch them on social media. Always ready to have fun, they are waiting for you on the road!

Influences: Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, A Day To Remember, Nirvana, Weezer.
