Fusing dance beats, acid basslines and skyscraping guitars into an infectiously epic sound, Newcastle's Deltasound have released two EPs, appeared on a compilation album and are a fixture on the live scenes throughout the North of England and Scotland. They are presently working on their debut album and have been invited to tour the East Coast of the USA later in the year.

Sounds Like: "Impressive; a glorious merging of surging stop-start guitars, crisp funk beats and bubbling studio effects. Deltasound are an exciting new act with an already distinct sound of their own"
Pennyblack Music"Coming on like The Cooper Temple Clause having overdosed on "Nu-Clear Sounds"-era Ash"
The Crack Magazine"Deltasound have a great knack for tight, punchy arrangements and irresistibly catchy choruses.
"
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music "Disco-rocker 'Attachment's chorus is a firm-slap of melodic power which builds into a series of crescendos. An utterly brilliant song. 'Slipstream' develops quickly into an indie-stomper, with an edge to the verse and another hooky and melodic chorus. The final song, 'Psychodelic' is the most impressive. It still houses a danceable beat, but it's less predictable and has the strongest chorus. The potential here is a palpable force"
The Mag"'Angel From Heaven' is one hell of a sweet song. To put it simply it's beautiful. The vocals are haunting and Jonjo's voice seems to just get into your head and float around there. The music fits incredibly well with the lyrics, which all in all paints a pretty picture."
