Since the late ‘90s, Ohio-based trio Delay, featuring twin brothers Austin & Ryan Eilbeck along with Jesse Wither, has stood the test of time, pumping out nifty pop punk that comes alive with bright vocal harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Following up their 2014 effort Circle Change, the band is gearing up for the Spring 2022 Salinas Records release of new album Songs for Money.
Premiering here, we’ve got album track “Shit Creek,” about which bassist and vocalist Austin Eilbeck has this to say: "Me and Ryan’s Dad is also a musician and he challenged us to write a happy song. Easier said than done and 'Shit Creek' was as close as I could get. It’s about getting through the challenges of the day with the people you love. If you got love, you’re set for anything."
Judge for yourself if the band met the challenge in the track below, and keep an eye out early next year for the full-length album. You can preorder Songs for Money here.
