Delays are an indie band formed in Southampton, England, consisting of brothers Greg and Aaron Gilbert, Colin Fox and Rowly. Likened to the Cocteau Twins and noted for the lead vocalist's astonishing falsetto, they gained much exposure for their supporting role to the Manic Street Preachers - a band that they have cited as childhood favourites - in their Past/Present/Future Spring 2005 tour. Their latest album, You See Colours, was released in March 2006 with nationwide advertising and to a very warm critical response. Image File history File links Delayslogo. ...
