...not douchebags

About Me

"Music is more than a soundtrack for a fashion statement, whether it’s the clothes or hair that are fashionable, or attitudes and personas. Music is more than a conversation that happens to have notes and rhythms. Our lives are fraught with doubt, insincerity, and half-truths, but music does not lie. Music transports us, and in doing so clarifies the things in our lives that we can’t see very well."

Exhibiting a sincere and passionate set of moody ethereal ballads, subversive indie rock cacophonies, and unbridled epic movements, The Belated have become the culmination of their diverse influences, from Radiohead and Jeff Buckley to The Pixies and Archers of Loaf, Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden to Nick Cave and Roy Orbison, Muse to The Jam.
