Music Reviews - Jet Plane Landing, Harvey Half Devoured and Break Even at The Adelphi Sunday 9th May 04 By Amy Willits.
	One of the last surviving totally independent rock venues, Hull's Adelphi Club saw yet another first-rate rock night, and I was there to witness the show.

Music Reviews - Rides The Bus CD Release Night at Bivouac, Duke Of Wellington, Lincoln with Mad Crowd Disease, Negative IQ, Neon Child - 23rd April 04 By Steve Jones
	Unfortunately I missed the first band, Neon Child, although I heard that they went down well especially as they are relatively new to playing live. The second band up was Negative IQ. These boys were starting to build up a following round the Lincoln area last year before they skedaddled off to Leicester Uni and other Read more...

Music Reviews - One Lick Less, Park & Ride, Sidewinder at The New Adelphi Club, Hull Saturday 8th May 04 By Douglas Colvin
	This Saturday night saw Hull's Adelphi club doing what it does best. On stage were three local bands playing different styles of music to a decidedly mixed audience of friends, fans and curious passers by. On stage first were One Lick Less, three guys playing an unusual brand of Rock 'n' Roll. In an abrupt five song set, they managed to Read more...

Music Reviews - Smash it Up! Dead or American, Windum Earl, The Favours, Minions of Jeffrey At the Adelphi, Hull Thursday 6th May 2004 By Dick Spring
	Well, on the face of it, it looked like a somewhat strange billing, but the bringing together of these different strands of punk rock, two of which were from Hull, and though widely regarded as indie they contained ample loudness and blariness to qualify for the tag. Openers Minions of Jeffrey, appeared to have more people on stage than Read more...

Music Reviews - The Freddy James Band at The Tap and Spile, Spring Bank 3rd Sunday of every month By Elsie Creek
	The Freddy James Band is traditional, old-school live blues playing at its finest. They like to consider their music as a variation on an old theme, changing rhythms and riffs to add interest to what is essentially a very simple format. You can see the restraint it takes the Tap's patrons not to get up Read more...

Music Reviews - harriwattsband & Friends at Blue Lamp - Wednesday 31st March 03 By Elsie Creek
	The Lamp is a great venue, in a good location. There always seems to be something going on there, be it music or madness, so it's no surprise that some patrons never seem to leave. I don't make it to as many of the events as I would like, but this was one I felt compelled to attend, despite the Read more...

	Three bands were on for what was the Polar Bear's first ever Melodic Punk/Grunge/Ska type night.

Music Reviews- Winnebago Deal, Killer of Saints and Brassik Lynt At Full Metal Jacket, The Asylum, Hull Student Union - 30th April 04 By Thomas Law (Full Galleries).
	I must admit I've been looking forward to this gig for ages. The chance to see 3 up and coming metal bands in one night was gonna provide some serious relief from exam stress and if it didn't the alcohol is cheap enough to fill any void. However, anyone would went would know that this was a night to remember. First up were Read more...

Music Reviews- Winnebago Deal, Killer of Saints and Brassik Lynt At Full Metal Jacket, The Asylum, Hull Student Union - 30th April 04 By Chris Jarratt (Full Galleries).
	The night started off with considerable excitement, everyone at college had been buzzing for weeks, and the promo posters had been up at uni and college and handed out in town to mini-moshers et al. The line up included two local bands; Killer of Saints and Brassik Lynt, and a signed band I'd not heard of before. During the sound checks we Read more...
