Delivery

Brooklyn Vegan: Melbourne’s Delivery make the kind of caustic, mutant garage punk that their city has become known for in the last 15 years, sounding like the sun-baked desert vistas that populate George Miller’s Mad Max films. This band rip, mixing full-throttle propulsive drumming with slashing guitars and shout-along choruses. If you like the entire Mikey Young diaspora of snarling “dolewave” (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control, Dick Diver, etc), Delivery do it better than almost anyone else at the moment. Young actually mastered Force Majeure, their second album and first for UK indie label Heavenly, which is especially well-titled. Delivery sound like an unstoppable force on bashers like “Digging a Hole,” “Operating at a Loss,” “What For,” and “Exacto” which don’t skimp on the hooks, either. So you’re not totally battered by the end, they throw in a few Pavement-y numbers (“Focus, Right,” “The New Alphabet”) that hint at a poppy, brighter future for the band.
