The Shapers are a three-piece punk rock band from Toulouse, France formed in 2009. The band seeks to emulate the surf, skate, and snowboard aesthetic of the California skate punk lifestyle and has toured widely, having already played across three continents. Biography Though the punk rock scene in France has not found much mainstream attention, The Shapers have gained considerable domestic and international success, touring in Indonesia, China, and the US (where they shared the stage with bands such as NOFX and Pennywise). They released their first full-length album, Everybody Needs to Have a Dream, in 2012. While most of their lyrical content is decidedly lighthearted, the band's songs have also touched on themes of environmentalism.<ref name="BoTB" /> The band cites Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, A Day To Remember, Nirvana, and Weezer as their primary influences.<ref name="SGV" /> Members *Anthony Cauvin (vocals and guitar) *Raphaël Bouissière (bass) *Benoit Holin (drums) Discography *Everybody Needs to Have a Dream (2012)
