Belvedere is a Canadian skatepunk band formed in 1995. They began in Calgary, ALberta, as the three-piece of Steve Rawles (guitar/vocals), Brock
(bass), and Dan Hrynuik (drums). As the years progressed along with
their revolving lineup, Belvedere remained with their melodic pop-punk
sound that looked up to the likes of Bad Religion and NOFX.
Eventually recruiting second guitarist Scott Marshall, replacement
drummer Jay Hollywood, and a replacement bassist Jason Sinclair, the
quartet released their debut album, Because No One Stopped Us, in 1998
through Hourglass and 206 Records. After spending most of 1999 on the
road - along with Bad Religion and Strung Out, for a stint - Jump Start
Records released Belvedere's follow-up album, Angels Live in My Town, in
early 2000.
