Biography: Ancient Shapes emerged from Daniel Romano’s ongoing musical exploration in 2015. The project quickly established a rotating live lineup, ultimately featuring David Nardi, Vee Bell, Roddy Rosetti, and Ian Romano. The result is a sound that sits at the crossroads of power-pop, punk energy, and garage-rock grit, underpinned by sharp hooks and lyrical wit. Romano’s broader catalog and Polaris Prize associations lend context to the band’s roots in a vibrant Canadian indie ecosystem.
