The Matrix Club, Grimsby, has several big bands coming to it’s stage in the coming months. First off is ska punks [spunge] on Wednesday 17th March. Tuesday 5th April see’s Canadian melodic punk rock band This Is A Standoff, who feature members of Belvadere. Finally, the club has American hardcore band This Is Hell ripp up the stage on Sunday 21st March.
All of the gigs are ticket only events and the club has a low calcity so make sure you book in advance at the following site:
This is clearly a sign of the club moving in the direction of becoming a dedicated music venue, which can only be a good thing for the area.
p.s. there are strong rumours that Discharge are playing there on Sat 8th May too!

First review in a while but here goes. Went to see Set Your Goals headline Leeds Met Uni last night, with support from Fireworks and Broadway Calls. After a hellish drive through thick fog & a couple of trips round Leeds’ one way system I arrived at the venue just in time to see Fireworks’ final song – so all I can say about them is that they seem like a young band with a lot of energy playing in a similar style to SYG but not quite as “full” – I’d like to check ‘em out again though.
After a great night on Friday, Shapes N Mixtapes are back in the saddle and have booked their next night; Saturday 3rd April, 8pm. Its quite a way off yet but its a date to note in your diary for sure!
We are back online after a few months of down time! We had some issues with our hosting and have lost (for the time being) all previous content. Hopefully this is all now sorted and shouldn’t happen again!
So, how is everyone?
The BBC captured one of the guys’ songs at the Reading Festival this year. The Lincoln based punks headlined the BBC introducing stage! Check it out!
