belmez

Belmez is a fascinating name that fits this act to a tee. It’s a village in Spain known for strange, haunting phenomena. In fact, if Criss Angel, the magical mindfreak, had a band this would be it. With a sound that combines Live with the Cure, this group creates material that resists ordinary labels. It’s definitely rock, but it also indulges almost every sub-genre within that category. Being so unusual can be a double-edged sword, but Belmez manages to make it compelling in a curious way. Although the shape-shifting songs may be difficult to classify, they form a gateway for the doors of perception and affect the way you think about genre classifications -Bernard Baur Music Connection Magazine
