The Shapes were an English punk rock group that formed in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire in 1976.[1] Different in many ways from their peers in the nascent punk subculture, they were known for eschewing the more political stances that were fashionable at the time, instead producing works of a cartoonish and absurdist nature. They were often compared to The Rezillos because of their Gerry Anderson-themed work.
