Feel It Records
As the sleeve photo suggests, fast (and occassionally mid-tempo) like a roller coaster, bolted up tight and holding together like clenched fists but slightly unsettling to keep it interesting, shaking and rattling like Big Joe Turner and those wooden coasters at the back of the park, focused forward and staying on the rails but knocking your head around a bit like the Blue Streak overlooking Lake Erie at Cedar Joint, built decades ago but who would know, slight hints of England 1966 and 1979, NYC 1977 but going along like there's no yesterdays, get in line, push and shove and gimme a handshake, shoving you back and then pulling you in for a 7UP lipsmacker, delivering the goods like Judas Priest and Bimbo's Pizza, not sounding like Priest but tasting a bit like big slices ripped from the pizza pie on a late summer evening. I know none of that makes any sense to anybody but me but let me put it this way, it sounds like a hot dog and a cup of 7UP (the Uncola). -- winch

"Both broadening and defying the sounds of their first two 7” releases, Delivery continue their claim for the title of hardest and fastest working band in town on their debut full length LP ‘Forever Giving Handshakes’. Collecting songs written over the Melbourne five-piece’s two year lifespan and following on from the band’s bedroom project origins of ‘Yes We Do’ and the expanded one-two punch of ‘Personal Effects/The Topic’, ‘Forever Giving Handshakes’ captures Delivery at full force for the first time, leaning into the fully-realised live sound they’ve been quite actively working on since their first show in March 2021. Here the band collate a 12-track garage-punk opus, their five distinct voices simultaneously pulling songs in different directions while an undeniable chemistry reveals a combined hive mind ascending on a clear group mission… to rock. If you didn’t have the Delivery phenomenon yet, you’re about to. Marking the beginning of a victory lap for Delivery, the album rounds out a sprint of unrelenting live shows, impressive support slots and two stellar 7”s, all within a tidy 18 months. ‘Forever Giving Handshakes’ is a statement from Delivery and one of the strongest Australian punk debut albums of the past decade."
Delivery’s debut LP ‘Forever Giving Handshakes’ will be out November 11 via Spoilsport Records/Anti Fade Records (AU & NZ) and Feel It Records (US).
