Delta Red is a rare commodity in a music scene bloated by wave after wave of lightweight clones. Delta Red offers a real alternative to bands fronted by public school boys dressed like they've stolen their clothes from an alcoholic vagrant. S nobbery and pretentiousness are left at the door because if you haven't worked it out already, that's not what Delta Red is about.So what can we demand of Delta Red? Music uncompromised by the passing fads known by NME’s sycophantic plugs. Unwavering confidence in live performances, which never fail to attract sizeable crowds. Who’s in the crowd? The loyal fanbase keen to get their regular fix and the curious newcomers to see why people keep talking about Delta Red.Delta Red’s confidence allows each song to be what it’s supposed to be. They play without fear knowing that if it’s necessary to perform on a stripped down level then so be it. Likewise if it’s time to get the toes tapping and the bodies sweating, then they’ll plug back in and amp it up. Unlike bands with ego-swelled poseurs fighting for the lime-light, Delta Red subtly adapt to the heart of a song, allowing the most fitting blend of music to evoke the sentiment and if that means the guitars are put back in the rack for a track or two, so be it.Think about a band’s longevity. Delta Red may not be established in the charts yet but its ideology is based upon core values of innovative expression, thoughtful lyrics and the timeless rock ‘n’ roll outlook that guarantees that they will outgrow and outlast the current crop of dubious one-single vanishing acts.Delta Red’s influences harvest the work of rock ‘n’ roll’s authentic ambassadors and through which augment the unique brand of hook-filled music that defines the band.Delta Red is not a collective of four musicians. Delta Red is a fifth member of the band, an outlook the members share without which the music would not take on its distinctive character and vigour. Once you’ve experienced the band through its music and live performances, then and only then will you know whether you share that perspective, can feel the spark of rebellion in the distorted chords and the heart-bursting lyrics. By then you’ll know whether you are part of Delta Red. If not thanks for the time, you aren’t ready yet. If so welcome to the faction.Join the revolution.
