Delphic are an alternative/ indie dance band, mixing rock subgenres with electronic dance music. They are officially a four piece band, consisting of a vocalist, guitarist, a drummer and a multi – instrumentalist. Originating from Stockport, they releasing their first single in August 2009 named ‘The Momentary’. This was made obvious of its success, being nominated for three UK Music Video awards, including Best Cinematography, best editing and best telecine. They are now covered by the record label Polydor, being based in the UK and aiming to be the future sound of Manchester.
Their first TV appearance was in November 2009, in which they played their song ‘Doubt’ and ‘Halcyon’. In this year, the band also managed to tour the UK music festival circuit, playing at; T in the Park, the Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, Creamfields and Bestival.
In 2010 they were placed third on the BBC of Sound poll, being here in which they gained their most recognition.
They seem to build craft dance music for indie boys to dance to, however, also touching on a slight rock band template. Their second album named ‘Acolyte’ was released this year, enabling Delphic to establish themselves as a name in their own right, rather than being a common style of Artist. In doing much research into this Band, i found that they were often referred to as ‘inklings’. This has furthered my inspiration in relation to my Artillery tasks, using this as a somewhat, hidden or subliminal relation to them by adding images of ‘ink’.

Knowing that the Band is becoming increasingly successful ensures us that the song, in terms of its tempo and lyrics is likely to be enjoyed by our audience. Being a fairly new band allowed us to experiment with something fresh, rather than having to relate back to older and more original or recognisable pieces.
