NEW REVIEW - NOMATRIX - "EP" CD - Maximum Rock N'roll #301
June 2008
NOMATRIX sounds a lot like early BAD RELIGION, which I guess
is better than the many bands that sound like the seventh album by BAD RELIGION.
Early West Coast hardcore fans might like this, but I certainly didn't. (Ray

NEW REVIEW - NOMATRIX "Ep" mCd (Dead lamb)
This new record is the same as before, maybe a bit slower and more melodic ;
it’s still a mix of that classic Uk punk sound with melodic hardcore stuff.
There’s some good riffs, but it still lacks something to stand out from the
crowd. The lyrics are really good and attack uniformity and group mentality.
Keep an eye out for this band. http://www.deadlambrecords.com (Y.B.)

REVIEW by punk4life.co.uk - NOMATRIX - CD/EP
This
9 track EP is Nomatrix's new release on Deadlamb Records. This bunch from the
Emerald Isle really mix up their music and whilst punk is one of their
influences, Indie, Rock and a few other genres also have an influence. Their
singer has a very distinct, slightly American sounding voice which is more
prevalent on the slower tracks and he's backed up by capable musicians who
aren't afraid to try something a bit different. On first hearing 'You And I' the
first few bars sound very like 'Brimful Of Asha' and whilst it's a good song
'The New Routine' and 'Myopia Uniform' edge it for me with 'Judgement Day' being
my personal favourite. On the whole this is a great CD which as with their 2006
album 'Ugly' will appeal to fans of many different genres.

on Slit And Sawdust Comp
Split Bits Vol 2
Review by
punk4life.co.uk
Here it is, the second offering in the 'Slit And Sawdust Split Bits' collection.
As with volume 1 the format is the same, with four bands from four different
countries. The bands in question on vol 2 are The Jesters (Belgium), Born To
Destruct (England), Global Parasite (Wales) and Nomatrix (Ireland). Each of the
bands contribute 2 tracks.
Belgians The Jesters are first up and 'Tonight The Bar Is Ours' their first song
is an anthemic drinking song with a slight leaning towards the Irish style. 'A
Joker's Gift' is more like old school punk with a difference, the major
difference being the saxophone which is also very prevalent in their first song.
Next up are England's Born To Destruct. I'd never even heard of this lot and 'Roadtrip'
and 'Bollocks' whilst both being very simple songs are both delivered well by
their female singer.
Welsh hardcore band Global Parasite are next and 'Smash The NWO' and 'Prejudice'
display what a good band these guys are. Both are good hardcore songs and after
seeing these guys live a few times myself they are definitely worth a live
viewing.
Ireland's Nomatrix wrap the CD up with 'A Memory' and 'Unsure'. Both these
tracks can be found on the band's excellent album 'Ugly'. Most of their album
has an Irish flavour but but the tracks chosen for this CD are definitely more
towards the punk end of the spectrum, with 'Unsure' being what I thought the
best track off this CD.
The Slit And Sawdust collection, which is destined to go to many volumes will
hopefully take in many more bands from foreign shores as it's probably most
people's only chance to hear these bands. At 2 quid a copy it's well worth
starting this collection.

REVIEW by FUNGALPUNK.co.uk - NOMATRIX - CD/EP
The bold outburst of drums, bass and guitar commence this 9 track blast from DIY
believers and supporters Nomatrix, and thus 'The New Routine' is underway. A
confident song with snarling, controlled vocals and a slightly Americanised
guitar inflection that leads into the short sudden assault of 'Blah' - full punk
intent, terse and full of that 'Who Cares' attitude. Not a bad start at all.
'Judgement Day' ensues and is one of the CD's heady moments. A skipping verse is
wonderfully delivered and contrasts well with the triumphant chorus, posing the
question of who will stand up and be counted when it comes to defying the
oppressive life. The anti-control/underfoot theme runs deep and the promotion of
being an individual and avoiding a beating into submission is a true punk ethic
and etched here throughout all the lyrical matter bar one. 'If You Are' is an
unformulated example of this and it is an above average song that leaves me
wondering where the influences for this band are actually drawn from.
'The Zombie Song' captures the eerie, unsettling ambience well and the throaty
gurgles and flesh lust utterances work chillingly as a backdrop to a fine song.
'Myopia Uniform' is a neatly titled rant and although a song with an all too
familiar structure it is still a welcome addition to an overall unorthodox mix.
The second zenith is achieved next with the tuneful and smoothly flowing 'You
And I'. A pleasant track that is carefully orchestrated and comes across as an
upbeat, optimistic piece despite the ultimately questioning lyrical content. One
area where Nomatrix seem to establish their own unique identity is in their
completely unhurried approach to several of their songs. In fact the more you
listen to this CD there comes a distinct feeling of a band who are easily
assured in gaining the listeners attention without resorting to full-on sonic
attacks.
'An Epitaph' backs up the aforementioned theory and although the opening
anthemic drum roll promises a sudden surge the song drifts along with carefree
abandon before thoroughly turning the general approach on its head and
accelerating forth. A nice touch and the closing tirade 'Me, Me, Me'
re-emphasises the unexpected speed blast and leaves the reviewer adequately
astounded.
A fine mixture of many colours from the musical spectrum and Nomatrix remain
quite elusive and slightly unclassifiable. There are some good well thought out
segments as well as more clichéd touches that all combine to make a highly
listenable product. Further recordings are anticipated and much welcome as the
inklings of diversity shown here are a blessing to punky lugholes.

Bad news! Eamonn has left the band.
He has been with us for 5 years, recorded on Induce
Vomiting, Ugly & our new Ep (which is out soon). He has played many gigs with us
but now must move on. He has left for his own personal reasons. We say good luck
and farewell to him.
So
we are now looking for a new drummer to play gigs and record. If any one is out
there and wants to give it a go, get in contact.
