Since forming in Manchester, England in late 2003, Delayed Promise have played over 100 shows around the UK and independently released six CDs to critical acclaim. Influenced largely by US-based alternative bands such as Jimmy Eat World, Arcade Fire, Paramore and Weezer, their sound is fresh and distinct in a British music scene dominated by bland indie acts. Major gigs include support slots with AntiProduct and US rockers Bullets To Broadway, in addition to well-received performances at Manchester's In The City music showcase. They won the Silk FM Battle of the Bands competition in 2008, coming out on top against some great bands from across the region.
The band recently returned to their origins as a 4-piece with the valuable addition of Gem Carter on bass. Many more shows and another CD of brand new material are planned for early 2009.
