Southampton, United Kingdom (2001 – present)
Delays are an indie band formed in Southampton, UK.
It gained its final lineup of Greg Gilbert (lead vocals, guitars), his younger brother Aaron Gilbert (synth/programming, vocals), Colin Fox (bass, backing vocals) and Matthew ‘Rowly’ Rowlinson (drums) in early 2001 (the band was called Idoru at the time, and changed their name to Delays in 2002)
Their debut album, Faded Seaside Glamour was released on Rough Trade Records in April 2004. The album contains singles Nearer Than Heaven, Hey Girl &
Long Time Coming, the latter which charted at #16 in the UK, and is still their most widely known song.
The Lost in a Melody EP was released late 2004 and accompanied the 4th single off the album, Wanderlust.
They gained much exposure from their supporting role to the Manic Street Preachers in their Past/Present/Future Spring 2005 tour, after which they took some time off to make another album.
You See Colours was released in March 2006, and the lead single Valentine instantly became a favourite at UK clubs, not to mention the reaction it gets from the audience when they play it live. Also Hideaway was released as a single.
The “fans only” limited edition (2000 copies) Love Made Visible EP was released on Fiction Records (of Polydor Ltd.) in Autumn 2007.

Well, it's not like they exist to sound like The Veils.

So this band is supposed to sound similar to The Veils? Cute, but not even close. The guy has an impressive falsetto, but the rest of his voice is pretty nonexistent. Falsetto isn't a part of a singer's connected range anyway. He uses it to sing all the songs in the same style, plus the songs need to be stronger. Mansun is a similar band... and better
