With lyrics sharper than razor-wire and tunes that stick the boot in, Belter is punk for grown-ups who like a dance. "The appropriately named Belter have an energy that literally leaps off the stage and grabs you by the throat." - Phoenix FM Radio, Essex. They’ve nicked the buzzsaw drive of The Buzzcocks, The Clash’s spunk, The Stranglers’ riffs and some of the best tunes Blondie never wrote. And their singer sounds like Jello Biafra pogoing on a Roxy Music-era Brian Ferry. "It's all about the lyrics, and Belter has something to say" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 music Since they formed in 2007, Anglo-Dutch Belter have taken their tight, energetic set and sharp lyrics to some of the world’s most iconic venues: London’s 100 Club, the Paradiso in Amsterdam and the Trash Bar in Brooklyn. "Belter could only ever be the band they are. Completely unpretentious and real, they are the anti-heroes. Their singer is charismatic, with great stage presence and superb lyrics." - Rock n' Roll In My Soul magazine They have played at festivals in France and the UK, sharing the stage with legends such as The Beat and Katrina (of the Waves). "Belter sounds like if the Proclaimers and The B-52's got really trashed one night and did some things that they both regretted. Which is awesome." - UI Argonaut, University Of Idaho The band set up their own label to release the single "TV Junkie", which was co- produced by Marc Waterman (Elastica, Ride, Ash). It was followed up in June 2015 by the single "Poison", which they recorded with producer Stephen Stewart (Kim Wilde, Toots & the Maytals, Willie Nelson). "London-based quintet Belter have been shaking things up [...] with their eponymous blend of politicised lyricism, Clash inspired melodies and vocals that are evocative of both Dead Kennedys and bizarrely enough, Little Man Tate. Belter are punk without the spit and the safety pins and all the nasty stuff your parents warned you about" - Ears On magazine
