Biography

Southampton, England (2001 – present)

Delays are an English indie band formed in Southampton, England in 2001, consisting of brothers Greg Gilbert and Aaron Gilbert, plus Colin Fox and Rowly.

Delays have long been British rock’s best kept secret. A heady concoction of angelic harmonies, beat-group hauteur and groove-based hedonism, they belong to British pop’s most regal bloodline: (early) Floyd, The Smiths, The Stone Roses. Hitch a lift with them to North America, however, and you’ll see their euphoric ballroom blitz send fans into a frenzy. Head south of the border and it’s a full on teenage rampage.

Having signed to Rough Trade in 2004, they released their debut album Faded Seaside Glamour the same year. A riot of page-boy haircuts, nifty riffs and celestial harmonies, it boasted top Twenty hits ‘Long Time Coming’ and ‘Nearer Than Heaven’ and prompted the Guardian to describe them as “First band in a decade to lay serious claim to the Stone Roses Throne”- Follow up You See Colours (2006) saw their psych-pop blueprint delivered with added BPM. A brooding mix of “Voulez Vous’ and ‘The La’s’, it spawned alpha-pop hits ‘Valentine’ “Best comeback single of 2006”-NME and ‘Hideaway’. 2008 saw the release of the third album ’ Everything’s The Rush’ - Epic, skyscraping - Indie-pop has never been so glorious and sweeping “-The Mirror…

Delays returned in 2010 with their eagerly-anticipated 4th album ‘Star Tiger Star Ariel’

    I'm surprised 'Waste of Space' isn't on their top tracks. 'You and Me' is a great song too!

    They've been in the studio these past months. It's great they're not giving up. I can't wait to listen to their new stuff.

    I haven't listened to any of their material since "Faded Seaside Glamour". I did buy the singles originally like "hey girl" and always loved that track, reminds me of my summer in 2003. The whole album is fantastic.

    GUYS, PLEASE! Your music is pretty damn good - and I'm sorry I'm not asking after YOU, but a possible associate of yours - a producer by the name of JUSTIN CALLAWAY. Is this the same guy who had an indie-band called "Mock" in the early 90's & released one ep called SKYRYDER? THIS IS URGENT. IF THIS IS THE CASE CAN YOU PLEASE ASK HIM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH DAVE : djrjawa@gmail.com. PLEASE RESPOND - I NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM URGENTLY.

    Not really feeling the new album... though it's better than 'Everything's the Rush' (duh), I want to be moved the way I was by 'You See Colours'.

    These guys are great! It's a mystery why I haven't heard more of them. I know I will in the future.
