Belmont is a relatively new band from Chicago and this is their new record out on Mutant League Records. I listened to the record and reviewed it for this zine.

The record contains 10 songs of nice pop punk done in a modern and fresh way. There are some faster stuff like Convalescence which is one of my favorite songs on the record.  What surprised me and impressed me the most with these guys is their playing abilities. This is a very technical and progressive band, very different than most of their peers. Intelligent song structures, but at the same time they retain the old styled pop punk melodies beneath it all. I love the above said song, but also Recluse and Empty are my highlights of this record. You will have to get the album and make your own favorite tracks on this album. With bands like these, pop punk has a bright future.

8,5/10
