History

Delivery were formed in 2020 by couple Rebecca Allan and James Lynch[4] and included members from several Melbourne bands, including The Vacant Smiles, Gutter Girls and Blonde Revolver.[1] They played their first live show in March 2021.[4]

In June 2021, the group released their debut EP Yes We Do.[3]

Between January and April 2022, the group recorded songs for their debut album.[5] In September 2022, the band released the lead single, "Baader Meinhof".[2]

In October, the band released the single "The Complex" and announced the forthcoming released of their debut album Forever Giving Handshakes.[2]

Doug Wallen from NME gave the album 4 out of 5 calling it "[a] lively record full of guitar interplay and sociopolitical critique".[4] Conor Lochrie from Tone Deaf said "Forever Giving Handshakes is an exercise in controlled chaos, songs threatening to fall apart at any moment, but it all coolly remains together" adding "Underneath the rapid-fire vocal delivery, intricate guitar interplay is rife; it's always a case of more is more."[1]

Delivery played Golden Plains Festival in Meredith, Australia in March of 2023, and drummer Daniel Devlin delivered what was considered to be the drum solo of the year.
