Music Reviews- The Levellers, The Mutts & 59 Violets at Hull City Hall - 29th March 04 By Steve Rudd
	The Levellers have to be applauded for consistently inviting some brilliant bands to support them on tour. Back in December 2003, Brighton rockabilly outfit She Said did the honours brilliantly, and this time around - for their 14-date, Anti-Apathy UK Spring 2004 tour Read more...

Music Reviews-York 21st April 04 Million Dead, X is Loaded, yourcodenameis:milo at Fibbers By Steve Rudd
	As the April rains raged outside, so did Newcastle quintet yourcodenameis:milo on the inside. Strange name, you might think.. and they're an even stranger band, proudly presenting the sound of sheer carnage as three guitarists manhandle all manner of destructive and Read more...

Music Reviews - Brave, Blind Frog Ernie, Silence In The Streets, Dumpvalve The Welly - Tue 20th April KERRANG Show! By Felix Green
	Downstairs in the main ballroom of the Welly Club is always a difficult room to fill, since it is far larger in comparison to the other rock venues in Hull. Yet with four weeks of Kerrang promotion and some wide spread flyering it was as full as I've ever seen it. Also, praises to the sound guys who Read more...

Music Reviews - The Displacements By Steve
	Displacements are a remarkable new band based in Hull. Chris (Gowie), Simon (Burner) and Nick are only just turned 18 yet their unique brand of music is rapidly attracting a loyal following. Remarkable because guitarists and vocalists Simon and Nick are self taught through spending hours in front of a PC logged on to the web whilst Gowie has been playing Read more...

Music Reviews- Electric Eel Shock & Antiproduct at The Kazbah, Scarborough 25th March 04 By Steve Rudd
	Antiproduct is the coolest and most exhilarating punk band since The Sex Pistols. Stopping at nothing to put on the most entertaining show possible at every gig they play, this wacky quintet might be based in London, but they make it known loud-and-clear that they prefer Read more...

Music Reviews - Adelphi, Hull, 18th April Jaws drop in Hull and appreciation for local bands rise. By Mike Rofone
	Crowbar Smile, DUMPVALVE, Mad Crowd Disease, Multiple Injuries, Planet 10 It's cold, it's wet and it's miserable. Now there are two things I could do on this gloomy Sunday afternoon in April. Number one; I could stay at home in a lovely quiet village, pondering how I've become so overdrawn and kick myself when I figure out the reason. Or, Read more...

Music Reviews- Multiple Injuries at The Ringside, Hull - Wednesday 14th April 2004 By Dick Spring
	This venue is a new addition to the Hull circuit, and I was informed that the booking is in the very capable hands of Determination Inc (who were the driving force behind, the late, lamented, Moriarty's ) and are bringing the magic touch to this venue, with a newly installed 2k PA system. The new Wednesday night Read more...
