Daniel McLean and Johnny Yohman started the group in the summer of 2007 as a musical project. After writing and rehearsing for a few weeks, they laid down four tracks that are featured on the debut ep, "A Life In Boxes". They have now assembled the full Delivery band, adding local musical gurus and friends, Jeremy Nardozzi (drums), and now Micah Foxx (bass). Some of the musicians were once members of various past local Tidewater, VA bands In Spite Of, Legato, SideSwipe, Wall Street, Cosmonaut, Johnny Responsible and Atkins Lane. More to come... Be sure to spread the word in the meantime…

Broken Glass Slide
Johnny decided that since he didn't have a slide available for a solo on "A Life In Boxes", he would "MacGuyver-It" and use the neck of a broken beer bottle...
LYRICS FOR: "A LIFE IN BOXES" DEMO EP
"Accept It" - You've had your troubles and too many times you've been let down / Things never go your way / So much frustration and there is no way to get it out when no one will listen to what you say / This is the way it is / There's no use in fighting when you'll never win so just give in / You're getting old now, boy and no one to help you carry the weight / You'll have to get used to being alone / Things never get easier / You can't always rely on getting a break / You'll have to figure this out on your own / You've always had good intentions but where do they get you when no one really cares? / I know you feel worthless but it's what's on the surface that everyone sees / Although you neglect it you just have to accept that people are cold
"The Feeling Is Mutual" - You and I, we are alike in more ways than one / It's the simple things that let us hang our silly hearts outside just for fun / This emptiness leaves us depressed and we can't be around anyone / Get to an age; get to the page where our words just come undone / Why does everyone feel the same? Why does everyone always seem to feel the same? / All of these lonely bodies with all of these mid-life crises / When will it ever change? / There's never breaks, you can't escape a life where all of your skies are gray / Can never sleep with too much to think about / You wish you could just get away / And these quiet nights, these dimming lights don't seem to really ease the pain / So, put on a face, a happy face, and forget about everything / We are all the same although we don't always show it / We are all the same although we don't always want to be
"Sigh Of Relief" - Always been extremely unsure of myself / I often shy away from others' help / Never had any reason to give my trust / I've never been close to anyone / But when I'm with you, you give me hope / When I'm with you, you give me life / And you're such a sight for these heavy eyes / I am me with you by my side / It's always looked like there was nowhere to fit / Often times I have thought that I'm so useless / Never seem to feel fully satisfied / Nothing ever feels right / Until I'm with you... / With you, I'm not afraid / With you, I'm never ashamed of who I am / Whenever I am weak, you make me strong / Whenever I feel drained, you push me along / I never had a clue, but I know now / I'd be so lost without you
"A Life In Boxes" - The days, the weeks / The money we've spent / To build our future or to just pay the rent / There's never time to keep any friends / Over and over, it just never makes any sense / So tell me... do we really have to leave... again? / Here and there, our home has always made a change / So how can we settle down when things are never the same? / Everyone we know keeps fading further away / It seems like I only know faces, can't remember any names / I'm sick and tired of all this moving around because we never can manage to keep our feet on the ground / I want friends, I want neighbors, want a life / All of this relocation, it just doesn't feel right
