about
Coming Very Soon “Wasters & Ne’er-Do-Wells” here is a little taste of the album….
Belasis are a new Anglo-Canadian Alt-Pop band consisting of three childhood friends whose lives have become interwoven over the years. Mozo, Griff and Chud hatched the idea of recording their first album during a month-long rock n’ roll tour of the States (being entertained, not vice-versa).
Shortly after the trip, Covid-19 struck with all its fears and uncertainties, leaving the boys stuck on two separate continents. However, thanks to the possibilities afforded by the internet, it was decided to continue with the project, while the dust settled on the pandemic.
Originally conceived as a “covers” album to pay homage to some of their favourite artists, it was quickly decided to write some of their own material. Pens scratched on paper, keyboards clicked like stenographers on steroids, and hours of sleep were lost, as the dreaded “inspiration” held no allegiance to the alarm clock.
Demos bounced back and forth across the Atlantic, and it became obvious that there was enough original material to fill the album. In fact, the only cover to appear on the album is David Bowie’s “Slip Away”, which the band had originally started recording before the American trip. The rest of the tracks cover a lot of ground, from Jackson Browne type ballads to Bowie pop via 21 Pilots and Hawkwind style synths.
A constant feature of a Belasis song is a banging chorus. They like to leave a lasting impression, so listeners will want to come back for more.
Belasis (the name taken from a family that settled in the boys beloved Billingham in the 13th century) are excited to announce the release of their first album, “Wasters & Ne’er-Do-Wells”.
“Wasters & Ne’er-Do-Wells” – the soundtrack of our lives (so far)!
