About Me


View BELT's EPK BELT is one of the most promising new bands coming out of New York. Their sound has been compared to everything from "Simon and Garfunkel getting the crap kicked out of them by Led Zeppelin" to the "Beatles chopping up Radiohead with Dave Matthew's chainsaw." Anyway you slice it, these guys rock. This Brooklyn based "smart-alec grunge pop" band quickly gained a rabid and loyal following when singer-songwriter, Terrence B and singer, Paul Munoz, started as a duo trying to break onto the New York Anti-folk scene. Their addictive songs and haunting harmonies quickly caught the attention of Check Other Records, an up and coming indie label, who helped them record an EP and their first full-length album, "Dead Come Back." Since then their sound has been rounded out by an ever-changing cast of brilliant musicians including Mike Bell (the lead guitar hero,) Haffro (the most enthusiastic and huggable bassist ever,) and Shawn Quirk (who plays the drums like they killed his family.) Currently BELT is writing and recording new material while co-producing "From the Penthouse: artist loft series" at one of the worlds finest recording facilities, Tainted Blue Studios, in Times Square. Terrence, Paul and Mike also perform with the STRANGE KIDZ, a N.Y. based kids band, soon to be releasing their debut album "Kidz Album." T hoop
