Belvedere fans, rejoice! According to a recent post on their official website, the Canadian skate punk veterans are actually in the process of writing new songs! They’ve also announced that Casey Lewis, who has been playing drums for the band since this past May, is now a full-time member. Some of you might know him from his work with a band called The Evidence.
Here’s what frontman Steve Rawles had to say about all of this:
“We’re stoked to get up a brand new site for the band. We’ve been a little quiet in the show department over the last few months. I’ve been back in school learning how to do stuff like this nice little website. The good news to that is we’ve been jamming pretty steadily and have written a few new songs. We’ll have updates on what that’s turning into soon. We’ll also be playing a show in Calgary on November 26th. Be sure to check out all the tabs on the site and send us a message on the “contact” section if you have any comments, or want to ask us questions. We’ll try to answer as soon as we can. Also be sure to welcome Casey Lewis to the band. A few of you have probably noticed he’s been playing with the band since May. He’s fitting in nicely. Thanks for reading ~ Steve”
As always, we’ll keep you posted as soon as new updates from the band become available.
Belvedere returned from a seven-year hiatus in 2012, and they have since re-released a few of their full-lengths on vinyl through Jump Start Records and put out a 68-track compilation entitled All Of It. All of that and more is available to stream/purchase on Bandcamp.
