THE DELTICS
Looking
Back
There are many different
types of groups in the UK peddling a myriad of ’60s-style sounds these days,
ranging from out and out garage punkers, beats, psychedelics, rambunctious rock
'n' roll and R&B gangs, and now there’s also Bristol-based act The Deltics.
These
guys come from the middle ground, being neither one thing or the other,
choosing to march along a more rootsy-sounding platform that takes in some major
influences from the beat/mod era, right up to the likes of, say, Dr Feelgood
and beyond, all presented in a sometimes more refined fashion than many of the
garage and beat style fraternity. Don't get me wrong – songs like 'Gonna Tell
You', 'Here Today' and 'Nightlife' contain more than enough grit and sweat and
are all well-played using a battery of authentic instruments and amps (I
especially like the fine drumming that's displayed throughout).
Looking
Back
isn't a bad sounding debut and really shows a group having a total blast doing
what they like to do.
