The Delta 72

The Delta 72 were an American alternative music band formed in Washington, D.C. in mid 1994, who later relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They created a frenetic and honest style channeling post-punk sensibilities with 1960s British Invasion R&B. Led by Gregg Foreman, Delta 72 formed out of a desire to make music that incorporated elements of "everything from weird punk stuff to country". Their early, "bluesy punk" sound was also significantly influenced by Booker T. & the M.G.'s. The original line-up consisted of just Ben Azzara on drums and Foreman on guitar, harp and vocals.
