Electronic fueled pop-rock from right here in Austin. Shapescenes are an interesting band who cull their sound from influences across the spectrum of alternative rock. Equal parts new wave, post-punk, and rock, they create a sound that’s appealing both to the kid looking to sweat on the dancefloor and the jaded hipster in the back of the room who’s far too good for that kind of thing. Whatever, you know? There’s more than one way to enjoy some hot tunes. - The Horn - UT Austin News and Opinion
For those craving a little more bite to their dreamy alt-rock, Shapescenes serves up a delicious solution. Mark Son’s adrenaline-fueled drumming energizes the floating synthesizers and makes the listeners feel like they are in another world. This intoxicating sound will radiate through The Mohawk’s indoor stage on Friday and add some psychedelic spark to this edgy downtown venue. - Tour Worthy (E-Zine)

Bio
The band Shapescenes is an emerging four-piece alt / post punk / new wave group from Austin, TX. Their sound has been described using words like "cure-ish", but to be pigeonholed would sell short the actual sound which is a lush and anthemic culmination of four fairly diverse musical paths.
Shapescenes was originally formed in 2012 by the collaboration of Chase Anderson and Jared Templeton, both formerly of the West Texas area. Initially, the pair formed a much darker, more electronic version of what the band has evolved to be. After a few lineup changes, including the addition of Eric Wilson on synth, Brad Byram on bass, and native Austinite, Mark Son, on drums, Shapescenes has become a more guitar-driven, rhythmically dynamic, and dance-influenced rock band.
