Featuring lead singer Matt Vasquez’s trademark rasping vocals, ‘Trashcan’ is a boisterous piano-driven romp, and the perfect introduction to Delta Spirit’s invigorating, hook-laden rock ‘n’ blues.
Taken from the forthcoming debut album ‘Ode To Sunshine’ (released March 23rd), ‘Trashcan’ will be available as two-track digital single and 7” vinyl. Both formats include superb additional track ‘People Turn Around’, another undoubted album highlight.
Delta Spirit’s multi-instrumental versatility and Vasquez's forceful delivery make for an unforgettable live experience. With further UK 2009 dates in the pipeline, the band also record a Radio 1 ‘In New Music We Trust’ session for Steve Lamacq to be broadcast January 19th.
