Unearthed: a rare CD recording of eight unreleased demos by Delirious? - any offers? Actually, what I have here is really the debut effort by Stourbridge teens Stateless, but forgive the confusion! Stateless produce here vocally and musically a very similar brand of indie-tinged pop rock to the Littlehampton posse, strongly recalling their pre-'Mezzamorphis' material. One could do worse than be compared to Delirious? - Stateless have produced some pretty strong material for a debut and opener "Overwhelmed" could easily be adopted by churches in the same way as some of the D:boys' stuff. However, future recordings hopefully will see Stateless develop a voice of their own.
