BELVEDERE were pioneers in crafting extremely catchy, fast and heavy melodic skate-punk with a strong leaning towards hardcore and even a little bit of metal.
The band's strongest material are generally the songs that have the band's unmistakeable palm-muting and witty lyrics. Check out "The Bottom Line", "Not My Problem" and "Two Minutes For Looking So Good" for prime examples of these.
Tracks like "Weekend Warrior" are blistering hardcore, plain and simple. No hooks, no melodic singing - just drums on speed and a whole lot of screaming. You can find more of these on parts of "Malpractice" and the majority of "Cellophane Coffin".
Along with Choke, Propagandhi and Protest The Hero - this is the generation of bands I grew up with that embody Canadian punk music.
