Adam Maxwell (Vocals), Ben Kirkland (Bass Guitar) and Ben Squires (Lead Guitar) enlisted Leo Willis on drums, then shortly after released their self-titled demo EP. Inspired by an every growing catalogue of music ranging from Parliament and Fleetwood Mac to Khruangbin, the band merges their own musical tastes into a blend of bedroom pop with hints of classic rock, dubbed as “kaleidoscopic guitar janglers”.
2018 saw the release a number of singles including Jungle, Naked Heart and Sun Visor, and the band began to attract a following to their shows around the country as they embarked on several UK tours. Delights continued to release tracks Paradise, Sometimes Lately and most recently Loverboy in May 2020. Fresh off the heels of sold out headlines including Manchester iconic venue The Deaf Institute, they aim to keep pushing themselves both creatively and as a live outfit.
“A band that seems intent on not sounding like every other band in town but without disowning the music you suspect fills up their record collections” – Even The Stars
