Recorded in just twelve days at Melbourne’s York Street Studios with producer Dan Luscombe and engineer Stefan Blair, Zone 3 follows the previous album, Force Majeure, which was released in January 2025 to much acclaim.
The band have also today shared the first track to be taken from the album, “Measuring Cup”, a punk-rock punch that’s ready to intoxicate anyone who’s got the guts to drain that cup. Talking about the track, Delivery said:
“There is a certain kind of pressure in modern society to be vigilant about who someone is, what they stand for and if they are “your people.” But it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a challenge to engage positively with people who hold different values or stances, and a celebration when you know you’ve found someone who aligns with you, whether that’s politically, socially, or personally. ‘Measuring Cup’ is like an invitation to get on a level together and join the club.
Delivery are a band in constant motion. Fusing post-punk, punk, garage rock and dancefloor rhythms into something distinctly their own, the five-piece have spent the last few years transforming from a lockdown project into one of Australia’s most compelling and restless guitar bands.
Featuring Bec Allan (bass, vocals), James Lynch (guitars, synths, vocals), Scarlett Maloney (guitar, vocals), Jordan Oakley (guitar) and Liam Kenny (drums, vocals), Delivery emerged from Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns before building momentum through relentless touring and their acclaimed second album, Force Majeure, which Rolling Stone called “a statement of intent”.
Now, Zone 3 marks a new chapter. Written and recorded in the wake of extensive time on the road, the album captures Delivery as a fully formed unit — confident enough to trust their instincts and adventurous enough to push beyond the sounds that first defined them.
Conceived as a late-night record, Zone 3 is built for the hours when the streetlights burn brightest: rigid drum-machine grooves, synth pulses, wiry guitars, hypnotic basslines and vocals that shift effortlessly between detached cool and infectious urgency. It’s a record for crowded bars, packed dancefloors, darkened clubs and the hazy hours before sunrise.
Zone 3 is Delivery at their most focused, playful and expansive — a forty-minute trip through the city after dark, and a bold statement from a band still accelerating.
