Artist: Delamere
Single: Headstrong
Release Date: 30th August 2014
Label: Scruff of the Neck Records

"I've constantly got Delamere on repeat, I'm personally a massive fan and I know they are catching the attention of the right people, watch this space"
- Rob Adcock, BBC Introducing

"Delamere have consistently proven why they're one of the most impressive and versatile young bands coming up at the moment. Here's hoping that 2014 sees the band garnering more of the recognition they deserve"
- Dave Beech, Louder Than War, Shout4Music

Never a band to rush in to things, patience (no, not the dreaded Gary Barlow song) has always been the name of the game for Stoke's Delamere. This lack of haste can't be attributed to a collective laziness however, far from it. It stems from an overt attention to detail and an overall perfectionism, manifesting most recently in the band's forthcoming single 'Headstrong'. 

Built around an impressive juxtaposition of atmospheric verses and driving, frenetic choruses, there's an obvious musicality about this band that belies their relatively young years. Head nestling hooks and emphatic vocals are a Delamere staple, but here both are really brought to the fore; a product of two years of hard work and unwavering self-belief.

“Headstrong is purely and simply about knowing yourself and knowing exactly what you want to do, ignoring everybody else and being confident with what you believe in.”
- James Fitchford, Delamere

In those two years, the band have released a steady stream of sound defining singles, garnering somewhat of a cult following both in their hometown, and their adopted second home of Manchester, which was won over by the sell-out single launch for ‘Do You Want Me?’ at the ever-eclectic Deaf Institute. Whilst that sell-out show might well have been a crowning point in Delamere's early stages, it was the groundwork leading up to that point that really swung things in the band's favour. 
 
Championed by multiple regional radio hosts including Rob Adcock (BBC Introducing Stoke) and Lucee Clarke (6town Radio), the band have also been firm favourites of critics across the net, such as Dave Beech (Louder Than War, Shout4Music). With such support almost from the word go, it was obvious that Delamere had ‘something’ about them. It's that ‘something’ that permeates the entirety of 'Headstrong', making it an engaging listen from one of the UK's most promising young bands.

Headstrong will be available for pre-order via all major online stores on 18/08/14.

LYRICS

I've always been aware
Of makin' all mistakes
Still lookin' for a place
It will be my escape
I know, I know

Crawling back to you
So many things to lose
Failing in that game
To call you proper name
I'm wrong, I'm wrong

I won't be lookin' for excuse
I won't be hidin' here alone
I hope we'll meet again in snow
I know I'll find the proper words

We used to have it all
But then another fall
All the lights were on
There was no light at all
So long, so long

Fading memories
Complicated dreams
Above the trees we met
We are not happy yet
I want, I want

this song is about growth, distance and missing someone close to you. the piano melody was made as i looked back on the past year - the places i went, the people i saw, the general nostalgia of a good year. it was the start of my relationship, which happens to be long-distance, the track's artwork is indicative of that, as we take trains back and forth to see each other. the way he's sitting in the picture and how he seems deep in thought, it reminded me of how i am every time i have to leave her place to come back home, it sucks. it was the convention i went to in long beach, california, it was finding myself more, finding what i loved more, and focusing more time and energy into that.

through it all, i learned a lot about what life is, what life means, and this track was me pondering on all of that. i love my girlfriend, i love my family and i love my friends - but through finding myself more, i've learned that i can also love myself more than i did in the past. that's not a bad thing like i previously thought. i thought loving myself more than others meant i was being selfish and taking love that they deserve from me away from them, but that's not the case. i need to love myself more for myself, because i know they'd want me to and because i want to grow myself so i can then grow with them. ♥

transitions.

Amidst a brief separation from a loved one, a catastrophizing mind begins to extrapolate in the heart of a Tasmanian winter.

I'm too burnt to wander here
It's times that I see
And cover up my fate

I'm turnt to oversee
It's thoughts that lead me here
And wander in my only fair

To be hers still
To be her favourite still
To be favoured less
To be further still
From myself, from my love

Come on, come on winter
Take me to afar
Come on, come on winter
You snowed on my heart

So come on, come on winter
I'm breaking all my toes
And you're freezing all the bones (that wander)
Somewhere I'm alone
So come on, come on burden me

Take me to the shoal
Take me to the shallows
Take me somewhere far
Where the feelings have no anguish
Smiles are common charms

So come on, come on winter
