Momentary Heroes

After finishing runner-up to Ellie Goulding in the 2010 Brit Award Critics' Choice, it was somewhat inevitable that Manchester three-piece Delphic would feature in the BBC's 'Sound of 2010' poll of music industry 'experts'.

Dephic have come in third in the poll, going one better than fellow Mancunians and fourth-place finishers Hurts. Team indie guitars with spiky electronica, the band occupy a point on the musical spectrum somewhere between Klaxons and Bloc Party.

While The Drums are clearly influenced by 50's surf-pop and Hurts owe much of their sound to the 80's, Delphic's music sounds positively futuristic. Their current single 'Doubt' is destined to become one of the year's earliest indie anthems and their album 'Acolyte' in unleashed next week.
