Scottish four piece, newshapes, have recently shared their brand-new single “Falling Away” ahead of their UK tour!
This all new rock track was inspired by some of the greatest pop-punk bands including; Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, and Dashboard Confessional. However, as newshapes self-produced “falling away” they were able to add their own signature sound to it.
Many of us went through our “emo phase” and if most of us are being honest with ourselves, we never truly left. newshapes are a band to add to your emo-inspired playlists. It’s fresh and new, whilst also having that hint of mid-2000s nostalgia. The track captures that yearning of reassurance that you are heading in the right direction in life, the affirmation that you are not missing out on life and are making the right decisions. All this meaning captured behind cool guitar melodies and raspy vocals.
“falling away continues the new story that ‘baptise’ started for us, in more than one way. 2025 saw us face our biggest challenges yet and come out strongerand louder than ever before, and we look at 2026 as our chance to prove that we have what it takes to ‘fly the flag’ for alternative music from Scotland. As a band we are proud that no two songs in our catalogue
sound the same. Our music shares that desire to constantly evolve and never let ourselves become predictable, and we’ve taken that to a new level with everything that’s coming. There’s such a growing space for heavy music in today’s world, and we’re always looking to push the boundaries where rock, pop and metal collide – to bring people with different tastes, backgrounds and lived experiences together under one roof.” – newshapes
On the 21st March, the band will be heading out on tour, starting at Downstairs at The Dome in London, before travelling across the UK, ending in Edinburgh on the 28th March. After their headline tour, they will then be touring across Europe supporting Canadian band, never easy.
