Heavenly Recordings

Without doubt one of the most exciting bands in Australia right now, Delivery present their second album titled Force Majeure – a vital and concise record which thrills with its direct simplicity and excitement, recalling the likes of Parquet Courts or early Modern Lovers.

The twelve-track battering ram of an album, from Melbourne’s effortlessly cool five-piece garage punk heroes, builds hugely on the promise that their 2022 lockdown-born debut album Forever Giving Handshakes showed. Already with an enviable pedigree, their debut attracted fans from Henry Rollins (who has played almost the whole catalogue on his KCRW show) to Rolling Stone Australia (Top 10 albums 2022) through old school DIY word of mouth; Delivery are that rare thing, a true band’s band and a fan’s band simultaneously.

Force Majure is Delivery’s first album for Heavenly Recordings, a label with a long history of championing young Australian bands, from The Vines to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Confidence Man.

Across the whole record four voices sing, walls of guitars bite and scratch, the rhythm section locks behind them in perfect time while the listener grabs on for dear life and just tries to keep hold.
