Derailer are an English rock band from Stockport, Greater Manchester. Initially formed in 2015 as Heavenly Sins but reformed in at early 2017.

Pre-derailer and formation
All members of the band except Arthur Scrivener were born in Greater Manchester and lived within a 4 kilometre radius of each other whilst growing up. Arthur Scrivener moved to Stockport and met William Galloway at their Primary School. Just before their time in high school they became 'into bands' from the 90s rock scene such as Oasis and Nirvana. Scrivener previously knew guitarist Mclindon-Morris as all members of derailer went to the same high school at the same time. Scrivener and Mclindon-Morris began writing songs aged 12/13 despite not being in a band. Galloway and Scrivener were previously members of Heavenly Sins with former derailer member Callum Hewitt.

They later reformed in early 2017 becoming derailer. After a month or two Mclindon-Morris joined as a bassist but started to play rhythm guitar as Hewitt had left/got kicked out.

Early work
Upon Mclindon-Morris joining the band they started to work on original songs. Two of the main early songs which came out of this were 'The Time Is Now' & 'Attention Calling Indie Dancers.'
