Beltway Mentality

Old times. Good rhymes.

About Me

Beltway Mentality was an alternative rock band from the Columbus suburb of Bexley. Three of the four members had been playing together since the eighth grade when they debuted the hit song “Smells like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana. The band found their distinctive and original sound from the combination of their instrumental musicians and wide range of influences, including Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Mars Volta, and more. They were dedicated to playing music not in the form it is commonly forced into, rather the shape and sound that suits each melody and theme best. Their dedicated fan base extends across the Columbus area and is in the process of great expansion. Beltway Mentality created. Beltway Mentality expressed. Beltway Mentality played music.
