Shapes On Tape

Shapes on Tape is a Brooklyn-based Brew-Wave/Ultrapop group whose infectious hook-laden three-minute bangers represent a new era where loud guitars and synthesizers can coexist and even party together. A band that once made L Magazine implore U2 to "move over and let Shapes on Tape seize the thrown(sic)," Shapes on Tape asks the question, "What if Walter Mondale had won?"Genre-hopping producer/multi-instrumentalist/90s groovebox enthusiast Adam Kruckenberg, formerly of Midwest glam legend Vibralux, and guitarist/poet Jason Matuskiewicz, a veteran of beloved Lexington, KY band Candidate, began collaborating in 2014, but they didn't complete their sound, best described as a sonic assault of feels, until they expanded SoT to include drum savant and overall swell guy Justin Heaverin of Noisebody and The Silver Tongues.Matuskiewicz’s lyrics and straightforward style walk the line between high and low concept with an abrupt 3-chord frankness that never takes itself seriously, while Krucken

    American Carnage

    On this Presidents Day, let us take a moment to reflect on the fact that we in the United States now have not only the worst President in American history but the worst possible President in all possible American histories. The mood of the zeitgeist is belligerent ignorance, and somehow together we must endure this surreal nightmare. And we shall. We shall not merely persevere but we shall triumph. They were dancing in the streets They’re not sending Their best peeps They are rapists They are thieves EVERYBODY LOVES ME! American Carnage! Massacre at Bowling Green! Carnage! Coast to coast a murder scene! They are Liars! Enemies! They are Fraudsters! A million and three! They are Losers! They need to see. EVERYBODY LOVES ME! American Carnage! Massacre at Bowling Green! Carnage! Coast to coast a murder scene! All these alternative facts Make up our history. These alternative facts Our destiny. American Carnage! Massacre at Bowling Green! Carnage! Coast to coast a murder scene!

    Fountain Of Youth

    Buy a t-shirt: https://shapesontape.bandcamp.com/merch/shapes-on-tape-retro-t-shirt Produced by Justin Craig @ Foxhole Studio I was searching for the fountain of youth couldn't handle the truth didn't like what I saw it do to the minds of my friends to my own head in the middle of the day and the weekend when it came to me I was glad to see I kept such good company Big mistakes are all I am doing Never thought I would be the ruinous kind Can you help me change my mind Falling forward over my own feet Tripping backward into my memory Can you help me change my mind, please I was watching as the promise to keep fell into the street didn't know it was just debris to the people in charge after I'd gone so far in the middle of the maze of the minotaur And I thought of outside where I used to reside wondering if I should have picked a side Big mistakes are all I am doing Never thought I would be the ruinous kind Can you help me change my mind Falling forward over my own feet Tripping backward into my memory Can you help me change my mind, please Every day we're going faster Whether we face triumph of disaster We go on and on We go on and on Big mistakes are all I am doing Never thought I would be the ruinous kind Can you help me change my mind Falling forward over my own feet Tripping backward into my memory Can you help me change my mind, please
