Biography

Bent Out Of Shape is a streetpunk/Oi! band from Fryslân (the Netherlands), formed in October 2019. Early 2020 they dropped their 'Demo 2020' CD with 7 songs. It was well received and landed them a deal with German label Demons Run Amok Entertainment.

Late 2020 the 'Who Laughs Last' EP was released. In 2021 they came out with a split 7" with The Boldness from Indonesia, and in May 2022 they released a split picture disc 7" with their friends Skroetbalg. Their debut full length 'Old Rats On A New Ship' followed on November 25th 2022.

Bent Out Of Shape is featured with 2 songs on volume 8 of the legendary Oi! Ain't Dead compilation on Rebellion Records (2023), alongside the cream of the crop of the current Dutch scene. In fall 2025 they released a split 7" with Boston Oi! band Poor Impulse Control on Audio Epidemic Records and Contra Records.

Bent Out Of Shape is currently workin' on their second full length.
