The Downward Spiral - Rise To Addiction + supports tickets and listings

The Downward Spiral monthly rock & metal night returns with a massive 5 band bill & DJ until 2am on Tuesday 9th Feb. Headliners Rise To Addiction featuring 2 ex-members of Blaze Bailey's first solo band after Iron Maiden and have just released their second album, Some Other Truth on Mausoleum Records.

Main support comes from Hull metal band Si-Shou who's return gig at Sharkeys a few months ago was packed. This is their first Hull gig since and hearing some of the great new songs they are coming out with since the reformation and addition of second vocalist Izzy this promises to be an even bigger and better night from them.

Dials hail from Driffield and have quickly become one of the tightest screamo/metalcore bands in the region - great sets at Ringside, Sharkeys and Bridlington gigs are rapidly cementing their reputation of a band to catch live, and soon !!

Mermaids In The Basement are playing everywhere over the next few weeks as they mix local shows with a short tour, always energetic and worth seeing live.

The Final Crisis head to Hull from Leeds and bring some very aggressive hardcore/metal to the night, very popular in their hometown they are spreading their wings a bit further afield and are a great opening band - make sure you get in for them on Tuesday.

The Downward Spiral is held on either the first or second Tuesday of the month at The Lamp and brings some of the bigger touring names to Hull and provides local bands with great support spots.
Tuesday 9th Feb - entrance £5 otd - cheaper guestlist places available from the support bands - contact them to save yourself £1 and make sure they get a share of the door.

Doors will be 7pm with first band onstage at 7.30pm and DJ until late - send us a message with any requests to be played when the bands have finished
