The Del-Lords were an American rock and roll band that formed in New York City in 1982,[1] founded by The Dictators' guitarist Scott Kempner.

The band combined elements of 1960s garage rock with country, blues and folk influences to become one of the early originators of urban, roots-rock.

The band members were Scott Kempner, Manny Caiati, Eric Ambel and Frank Funaro.

Their first four albums were re-released by Collector’s Choice-American Beat with bonus tracks and expanded liner notes.

They played a house concert in Rhode Island, and a sneak show at the Lakeside Lounge in New York before embarking on a seven city tour of Spain.
