Progressive-punk quintet, Belmont, have announced that they have signed with Pure Noise Records. To celebrate, they’ve released a new single and video, By My Side. On signing with Pure Noise Records, guitarist SamPatt shares, “We’ve been longtime fans of the label and their approach to working with artists, and we’re beyond excited to join a roster as expansive and unique as Pure Noise’s.”
Lead vocalist Taz Johnson continues, “‘By My Side’ focuses on the reality of becoming complacent in a relationship to the point of trading self progression for the feeling of comfort. We chose to shoot in a few locations but specifically the abandoned school because we wanted to reflect the idea of something that starts off beautiful but with time becomes unattended to and left to rot.”
Belmont are currently on the road with Grayscale for a North American tour. Following this run, Belmont will be heading across the pond to support Real Friends in the UK and Europe.
