Album/CD Reviews The Sneaks - Bizness 2001 By Daniel Laney
	Although this album may have been brought into the music scene over four years ago, it really needs to be brought back into the light. Down but far from out, Andy from The Sneaks maybe carrying on as a solo artist at this moment in time but he Read more...

Album Reviews - Blind Frog Ernie - Live By Daniel Laney
	An absolute rock treat for the local area. If you're like me and are always on the look out for something new and original in the world of music, then Blind Frog Ernie may have come to the local music scene's rescue. Until this morning I hadn't Read more...

Album/CD Reviews Andy Cornfoot - Crosswords By Daniel Laney
	Until a couple of months ago writing CD reviews was an alien technique for myself. I had always preferred going to the shows and feeding off the crowd's energy. When it comes to writing CD reviews there seems to be several ways to Read more...

Album Reviews - Vib Gyor - EP No. 3 By Daniel Laney
	You're Always Alone, strains the vocalist, in the background the sounds of the rest of the group support the Bono (esque) melodies. A soothing and atmospheric lullaby to accompany a long look at the night's sky, a warm satisfying Read more...

Album/CD Reviews 59 Violets - Prime Numbers By Daniel Laney
	It's always tricky to write about a group you know nothing about. You can't call upon your knowledge of the bands touring antics, nor can you compare previous stand out material to the CD you're reviewing, in short its just your appreciation of music Read more...

Album/CD Reviews Displacements - Pray For More By Daniel Laney
	If you were to take a quick glance at the members of Displacements you would instantly label them as emo wanna-be American punk kids; Atticus Black clothing, Mac Beth & Converse Chucks, skinnier than Ghandi, black hair draped over one eye, and Read more...

Music Reviews - Sunday 23rd January 05 - Tsunami Benefit Gig at The Welly By Daniel Laney Photos by Mo
	The Freaks Union, Silence In The Streets, BB Bruce, Diverse Unit, The Favours and Face to Feet. The winter's bitter chill began to make my hands weak and numb as I walked along the street in the pitch black. Whilst listening to my walkman I began to ask myself what the Read more...

Music Reviews - Park & Ride, Andy (The Sneaks),Andy Cornfoot Tue 18th Jan - The Sesh at The Linnet & Lark By Daniel Laney Photos by Michelle Dee
	For two Tuesdays in a row now The Sesh has proved to be the venue of choice. Last week it was almost impossible to move, due to all the people that turned out to show their support for the tsunami benefit gig. This Tuesday the whole place is again full, it may not be as Read more...

Album/CD Reviews The Sesh - Various Hull Heroes By Daniel Laney
	A long awaited Hull bands compilation CD can only be reviewed track by track. After listening to this really well compiled album by The Sesh's very own Mark Page, it was apparent that it had to be stripped down song by song to highlight a little Read more...

Going Down - thisisUll.com Tuesday 11th January - Hull Aid Tsunami Benefit Gig By Daniel Laney.
	It is 5am, I am with three proud members of thisisUll.com, sitting back and reflecting on eight hours of music. I have to break myself from conversation in order to put together my own thoughts of this magical event. In the background of the room I can hear Read more...

Album Reviews Richard Stevenson - Promises Promises By Daniel Laney
	I must admit getting motivated in the morning is one of the hardest things I have to achieve. Outside its cold and wet, mushy decaying leaves lie everywhere and a shed load of bills await you at the front porch and you know full well that the postman has taken great pleasure wedging as much Read more...

Music Reviews - Fraction of the Cost, Displacements, Cracktown, Jenny Bromley Unite Against Fascism Sunday 19th September - Ringside by Daniel Laney
	I've always admired the second floor function room at the Ringside bar. It looks and feels like a cheesy, but not tacky cabaret bar from Blackpool. If you were to glance at the stage you could imagine various acts leaping out at you from behind the curtains and annoying the hell out of you for half an hour whilst you Read more...

Music Reviews - Windum Earl Wednesday 7th July Ringside, Beverley Road, Hull By Daniel Laney
	It's been a while since my last review so I was more than delighted to write about a band I have never seen before. To me Wednesday's have always sucked in a huge way since someone decided to close down Room. Television on Wednesday is mind numbing (when is it ever good)? And everyone now seems to enjoy going to the Read more...

Fashion - Revolver: When Mod meets Modification By Daniel Laney
	The new vintage clothing shop set to make a big impact in Hull city centre. Trinity Market, Hull (Opposite Trinity Church. Mon - Sat 9am-5pm) When the terms Retro or Vintage are linked with clothes, thoughts of over priced charity shop fabrics and the smell of musty damp cupboards rapidly come to mind. However, with Read more...

Places to Visit - Dinostar - THIS IS HISTORY By Daniel Laney

Music Reviews - Skankt Support: Catch-it Kebabs Ska Bar, The Ringside, Beverley Road, Hull.Friday 28th May By Daniel Laney
	The Ringside may have played host to a small crowd tonight, but the performance and well being that floated through the air this evening was definitely on a large scale. I was full of cold and feeling sorry for myself, my two friends cough and snot decided they wanted to join me this evening and my god did they keep pestering me. Read more...

Music Reviews - Rhetorical Retro The Landau's The Ringside, Beverley Road, Hull 26th May 04 By Daniel Laney
	I have never been a person that judges style over substance but tonight as soon as I saw the Rod Stewart look yet again in full swing and the clothes from Dads wardrobe I cringed. Another venue I was a virgin of until last night was Beverley Road's newest rock venue, The Ringside. This strange venue with its easy going décor Read more...

Music Reviews - PACKED TO THE RAFTERS The Adelphi, De Grey Street, Hull. Homespun Support: John & Wayne By Daniel Laney
	Local Heroes & Northern Trio's, tonight's audience get the chance to take a step back and be reflective on their lives. The weather this evening is definitely playing for the cold and cloudy team, but the local fans are willing to queue further and further down the street just to get the chance to see one of Hull's local heroes return with his Read more...

Music Reviews - For Those Of You About to Goz, We Salute You! Punk Day, The White Room Sun 23rd May By Daniel Laney
	If there was a gig I would be there and if there was a pit to be smashing things up in you could guarantee I would be doing my bit to help destroy anything I could get my hands on. After a couple of years at university and experiencing a few of lifes other little chores, today was the day to come back and see how much the scene has changed. Read more...

Music Reviews - Wednesday 19th May, Adelphi Hull - This Girl. Support: My Awesome Compilation, Lauwine By Daniel Laney
	Sense of Humour & Sensitivity: Emotion and laughter purchased a ticket at the Adelphi this evening and the crowd were happy to see them.

Music Reviews - Tuesday 25th January - Mike (The Bonnits) and The Last People on Earth at The Sesh By Daniel Laney Photos by Darren Rogers
	Quite saddened by the fact that this was going to be my last trip to The Sesh in a while, I hesitantly vacated the cars warm interior, knowing full well as soon as my battered trainers hit the cold, coarse concrete, the evenings egg timer would be turned and I would be left Read more...
