The Delays

[Muse_Cubed]

Saw them last night at Ulu. They're actually pretty good...

[Spiral]

Yeah they are indeed! I like Long Time Coming and Hey Girl pretty much! ^_^

[BurgerQueen]

Ah yes a delays thread, yes they are nice, sound pretty rough live tho with nearer than heaven (on cd:uk) its a nice drifty sound i spose, long time comming was a tune

[glasskite]

I really liked them when i saw them last summer, alas, i didn't take up the chance to say hello and buy the signed merchandise.

=O Shame!! But don't worry, I missed Billy Talent when they were here.. that's evil as well.. ~_~

Err, the video to Long Time Coming.. what is it about? I saw it three times now but everytime I had to go to the bathroom or my mobile was ringing or anything.. weird! I just saw that the guys are in a car! :D

[Muse_Cubed]

I'm going to HMV in Oxford street on Monday to get some stuff signed. My sister's been to 4 of their gigs and going to two more next week and her friends got a trip on their tour bus! Lucky buggers. She's got two of their setlists and Greg's water bottle. If only Muse played some small gigs...

[Sarah]

Still remind me of Mansun. I guess it is the blond locks.

They described it as a mix of twin peaks and prisoner on the xfm site (long time vid) sounds like muse's ulimate video to me

[So Low]

I've only seen the Delays once, when they supported Ocean Colour Scene back in September. I wanna go to more gigs, but none of my friends like them, with one friend describing them as a "camp band made of camp people making camp music" which I though was rather mean..

[MassiveEgo]

I have Hey Girl on Vinyl and I got long time coming gold 7" twice accidentally!

they are good... saw them support easyworld who are better...

More like I can't come. They're a pretty cool band, I shall invest in the album whenever I remember to.

[Strife]

Yeah. Delays are sound... I can't wait to get their album. I love the way they describe themselves as a pop band and are unashamed of this. They could be the saviours of smooth, dreamy rock and the saviours of pop...

[Ste]

Still remind me of Mansun. I guess it is the blond locks.

Yeah. The vocal goes quite Draperish at times though, except Greg can actually hit the notes.

[Strife]

Yeah. Genuinely great blokes too. The brothers. Saw them on Soccer A.M. a few months back and was thouroughly impressed by their demenour... Or something... They seemed friendly... Or something...

[Neil]

Same here, one of the songs is verry Mansun like...

[jayne]

Hello, just wondering if anyone has opinion on Delays a great new band who I went to see live in newcastle on Sunday. They were really good, not at all what i expected!
Anyway...what do you people think!

[Don't Feed The Ducks]

iiiiiiiiiii dont know but i do know they're the veils' support act so im going to see them anyway!

[Stuey]

I like the few songs I've heard by them (the singles) seem like a nice happy band with that high voice of his and all, see them at the isle of wight festival, it's all good :D

[Neil]

What do you think of the new single?

It's different..but still them, I love it

I'm hopefully going to see them in swansea on the 24th, they're meant to be twice as good live :happy:

[Coma_Euphoria]

I absolutely love The Delays! My best friend dragged me to a Franz Ferdinand concert a couple months ago and I went because that's what best friends do, lol. But I actually turned out being quite glad that I did go because The Delays opened for them. I immediately went and bought the CD and it has been on constant rotation with Muse, Interpol, and The Faint ever since. It's a little sad though because they're virtually unknown over here and I don't know anyone else who has even heard of them. But that's okay. I have no problem being their #1 American fan :LOL:

I live in the uk and I don't know anyone in the immediate area that actually knows of them :\

Shocking..really

[ummagumma]

saw them live a while ago, nice music, but i think i prefered the support band called Cord who are from norwich....
but the delays are good, even though i knew like 1 song :)

[Ril]

I'm seeing them next month woo!

[cheesecheesecheese]

I'm yet to get the albulm.:$ But one of the guys knows my mate who's a guitarist, which is undeniably incredibly cool! :happy:

[she_had_a_username]

:happy: <3 They're lush. Love them to bits.

I'd love to see them live. I couldn't make any of their recent gigs though damnit.

[Wowee Zowee]

Did anyone get their last album?

[Wowee Zowee]

Well i take that as a no.

Anywho i picked up You See Colours and its quite a nice album, he sings pretty well.

[Wowee Zowee]

If Coldplay were good they'd be this band.

[Ril]

I think he sounds good live too.

[glasskite]

I think I saw Aaron the keyboard player in Borders bookshop on Oxford St today...

Love You See Colours.

[Gemsy]

They're from round 'ere, doing a homecoming gig soon. I'm supposed to be going, so I'm giving them more of a listen. I only know Nearer Than Heaven (which I always thought was incredibly boring), Hey Girl (alright) and Long Time Coming (rocks). Are their albums worth buying, or are they the sort of band who only have a coupla good songs and the rest is a load of utter ballbags?

[Muttley]

I've got the new album today and it's absolutely brilliant again :happy:

[Static Shadows]

Ah good! I've heard mixed reviews for this one so was a bit worried!

[Muttley]

Well, I was comparing it to the new The Feeling record so my opinion may not matter :LOL:

[Static Shadows]

:stunned::( I have a bad feeling about this now.

[Muttley]

Well, it's good
Honest

A lot of singing by Aaron :happy:
I loved his voice on Panic Attacks

[Static Shadows]

Well from the new clips on their myspace No Contest sounds allright.. Touch Down sounds very promising, and Horray sounds a bit cliche/dull.

I love the first album so much that i'll get it anyway and hope the magic is still there!

[Muttley]

Well, it is up there with the first one and Hooray will grow on you soon. There's no Wanderlust on there though :(

[Static Shadows]

It's actually real really good! :happy::happy::happy:

[hyperactivebliss]

Oh I like the Delays :happy:

[Static Shadows]

Oh I like the Delays :happy:

Have you got the new album? It's their best since faded seaside glamour!

It makes me feel happy. :happy:

[Blissfield]

Come and see them in my field then, just confirmed them to play Blissfields :)

[Static Shadows]

I'll be in Greece/Republic of Macedonia by then. :p:happy:

[Muttley]

Brilliant version of Panic Attacks :happy:

I love hearing Aaron sing

[Muse_Cubed]

FRIENDS ARE FALSE!

The new album's great. Favourites are ^^, Pieces and The Earth Gave Me You. I've seen them 5 times this year already. Which rocks. The Aaron/Greg contrast works very well IMO. It's like FSG with more attitude and edge.

[Ril]

Is the guy with the glasses new or has the hat guy had a makeover? I really didn't like his singing live.

[Black Mamba]

I like.

[Static Shadows]

New single:

Not much different from the rest of their back catalogue, but still very good dreamy indie pop! Like the video too. :happy:

EDIT: A couple of early reviews for the new album are looking very promising!
