No 'Doubt' that Delphic are brilliant.

Delphic are currently splitting opinions. Whilst some think they are the next best indie-electro band since Klaxons, others are saying they're predictable, boring and wannabes.

Seeing as reviews are all about opinion, I'm going to give mine straight. I think they're bloody fantastic.

New single 'Doubt' is a slight progression from debut 'Counterpoint'. Annoying overlapping, monotonous voices start off the song, but as soon as the chorus kicks in, you're hooked. It's anthemic and extremely catchy. What else does a chorus have to do, other than that? The video ain't half bad, neither.

It sounds a lot more mature on the new single, and a bit more thought has gone into how it can become more commercial. Considering this band are on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, I think next year is going to be a massive year for Delphic. They're touring, album out mid-January and this time next year, everyone is going to know about them.

music isn't such a confusing concept.

Okay so, first of all... I'm hoping this'll get rather politically correct and annoying after a few posts. But I'm cool with that. After all, scandal is the first step on the ladder to stardom, right? 

Music; now that's a tricky subject to tackle. Or at least, that's what most people make of it. The way I, and most people my age look at music is a way to express ourselves. Be it the dirty chavs on the back of the bus pumping out Chipmunk from their brand new (and quite possibly stolen) phone, or the 'creative' and serene indie/punk wannabees who sit in fields every weekend getting pissed out of their faces to the sweet sound of The Maccabees. Either way, music defines what genre a teen is in. It causes stereotypes and withdraws emotion. 

All people want is for them to be able to understand where a song that they're listening to is coming from. They want to have their own perceptions on the lyrics...  Whenever I've split up with a boyfriend, I cuddle up to my moose teddy and listening to Frank Turner. Now, any Frank Turner fan knows the power he has over us. It's ridiculous. I listened to 'Substitute', and with lyrics such as, "music, well it's my substitute for love," it all made sense then. That's exactly what my substitute for love is. Music. Cheesy, but who gives a shiznik?

But that's all a song really has to do isn't it? Get through to the people? Bands and artists simply have to make people relate to their music in a way they never thought possible? So why has music got to have to be so tricky? It doesn't. That's all it has to do... connect.
