Poster were formed in Skegness, Lincolnshire in the late 1980’s. The line up is
Robin Partridge (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Stuart Downing (Guitar, vocals) ,
Kevin Partridge (The Bass Guitar, vocals) and David Malkinson (The Drums).

Originally called The Shells, the band quickly became a firm favourite playing
across Lincolnshire and Humberside including gaining regular slots at the famous
“Adelphi Club” in Hull. A chance meeting with members of Blur in their local pub
– while Blur were in their early chart topping days playing the Radio 1 roadshow
in Skegness – resulted not only in a game of Darts with Damon and co but some
advice that they should play some shows down south. That kick started The Shells
playing a number of gigs in London in the early 90’s, including playing to a
sell out crowd at the world famous “Camden Underworld” as main support to Aussie
rockers “Ratcat”. An early demo was recorded of two early crowd pleasers
Original and Elaborate Plan.

After several years not playing The Shells eventually re-formed, while all
living in London, with a new name – Poster. The mid 90’s became a prolific time
of writing new material and playing live for Poster. They quickly became a main
stay of the North London music scene, and were regularly in demand as the
head-line act playing to sell out crowds – a Melody Maker review of one of their
Dublin Castle shows can be seen on the Poster Facebook page.





During this period Poster managed some airplay on Radio 1, X-FM, and were
regularly watched by Londons independent A&R men. Charlatans front man Tim
Burgess saw the band play during this time and commented on how much he liked
the song Easel Dummy. The band also entered a competition on X-FM to find
London’s best unsigned band – they reached the final and played a showcase night
at the London Levis store in Oxford Street. Their track Fruitcake was
subsequently included on a compilation CD “The best un-signed bands ever”.

Towards the end of the 90’s early 2000, life got in the way and Poster finally
hung up their boots. Until now that is..!!

They’re back, what more is there to say, Kate Bush has done it, The Stone Roses,
Blur have all got back together. Could this be Posters time, who knows..? Be
part of history, come and see Poster live and judge for yourselves, wolf in
sheeps clothing or the real deal..!
