Belmont have announced that their upcoming, self-titled, full-length album will be out on August 17th through Mutant League Records. A video for the first single, “Hollowed Out,” was just released and exclusive pre-order bundles are now available.

Hailed by Rock Sound Magazine as “quite possibly the next great pop-punk band,” Belmont is stepping up to the plate with their debut self-titled full-length album which is slated to hit stores on August 17th. Belmont spent the better part of the last two years racking up miles and fans through constant touring with the likes of Have Mercy, Hot Mulligan, Capstan, and more in promotion of their previous release Between You & Me. The EP was celebrated by fans and critics alike, gaining millions of streams and views across digital music platforms. As a shining example of what’s to come; Belmont’s new single “Hollowed Out” touts a superior level of musicianship for the band. The forthcoming album was mixed and mastered by Dan Korneff (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore) and engineered by Jason Inguagiato at Graphic Nature Studio.

You’ll find the album track listing and upcoming tour dates below.

My thanks for Foxera for sponsoring the website this week. Foxera just released a new video for their song “Memories” featuring Tilian Pearson on vocals. I read multiple people in our forums talking about how this was one of their favorite songs Tilian’s been featured on in years. So, that already makes this worth checking out, but if you think you’ve got some vocal chops yourself, the band is also currently looking for a new singer. They plan to record a collection of songs with producer Taylor Larson (Periphery, I See Stars, Veil of Maya, Asking Alexandria) in the near future and are searching for “the voice of their band.”

Curious for more information? Check out their website.

My thanks to Babygotbacktalk for sponsoring the website this week. So, it’s the weekend, you’re looking for something new to listen to, right? If you’re into bands like The Matches or Chumped, this is going to be right in your wheelhouse. It’s clever, violin-powered, and the band described it as “D-I-Why?-because-we-gotta punk,” which is just damn good copywriting if you ask me. You can grab the EP right now on Bandcamp, and, at the very least give a song or two a spin.

My sincere thanks to Side Project for sponsoring the website this week. The band just released a three song EP, which you can grab here, and it’s impressively catchy and full of big choruses. Their song “Dance the Night Away” stuck out to me on first listen.

My thanks to Pylons for sponsoring the website this week. The band just released their sophomore album, Macro Eye Close Up, which rips its name right from the center of the first song on the record, “Page Torn Down the Middle.” At under twenty minutes, the album manages to hone in on consistent stability, and an expansive sound, panning out and pulling in from an array of influences. Teetering somewhere on the brink of punk, alternative and rock ‘n’ roll, the dual vocal band utilizes their female/male fronted dynamic to give their listeners something both refreshing and reminiscent. Macro Eye Close Up earns itself upon the initial listen, and each and every one that will inevitably follow.

You can check them out on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes.

My thanks to Adventure Cat Records for sponsoring the website this week and having one of the best label logos I’ve seen yet.

Seriously though, the label logo is adorable.
