Delta Mainline

New single 'Hope/Grace' coming soon!

About Me

Delta Mainline create an original sound, leaning on influences ranging from rock ‘n’ roll, blues and psychedelia to country, folk and soul. With a multitude of instruments including guitars, bass, drums/percussion, cello, flute, theremin, Moog, Micro Korg, harmonica, organ and piano - the result is a trip, rock ‘n’ space-blues free for all.
‘One of the best live bands I've seen this year...' Jim Gellatly XFM Scotland
‘A spacey sonic exploration that recalls The Doors or Early Verve.’ Edinburgh Evening News
'Psychedelic rockers rise above their peers, quality songs that live up to the hype…’ The Scotsman
'Delta Mainline do not make music - they create spiritually staggering sound.’ Skinny Mag
Delta Mainline released their first limited edition recording ‘The Beautiful Sunshine EP’ in late 2006. This EP was the result of many long hours spent in the studio experimenting with the bands eclectic live sound.
‘The psychedelic power that oozes from this...could well prove that we’ve come across the band to rival Kasabian as the UK’s leading light for unconventional rock.’ High Voltage Review
'If you like your music high on the epic and psychedelic scales, then your advised to check out Delta Mainline...a breath of fresh air in a musical climate where seemingly every new band want to sound like The Libertines. Very impressive.’ Heathenangel.co.uk
'A wonderfully woven piece of psyche-drone-brilliance for those needing aural stimulation whilst on a particularly sedated session.’ Subba-cultcha.com
'...this is a band who cannot be missed. Extremely unique and had the whole of Dry Bar (Manchester) in awe. Go check them out!' Imagine Records
In the company of a strong and loyal following, along with support from press and radio, the band are set to continue their psychedelic journey with more UK dates to be announced in 2008.
Delta Mainline are currently recording their follow up to 'The Beautiful Sunshine EP' with a download only single release due late 2008. New track 'Here Comes The Light' is currently available for free download from this site...enjoy.
