Starbelly is a 4 piece original (for the lack of a better term) "rock" band. Many would also call "power pop". Dennis Schocket (bass, vocals), Bryan Ewald (guitar/vocals), Greg Schroeder (drums/vocals) and Rob "Cozy" Cosentino (keys/vocals) wear their influences on their sleeves. Guitar driven rock layered with 3 part harmonies with sounds that often harken back to bands like Crowded House, Beach Boys, XTC, Kinks and of course the Beatles. They have released 2 full length albums; "Lemon Fresh" (1998 Not Lame records) and 2002's "Everyday and Then Some" (2002 Not Lame records) both produced by Andy Bopp. Other releases included; "Let em in" on Coming Up (tribute to Sir Paul McCartney), a Christmas EP along with many other compilation releases. Currently recording their 3rd full lenth LP. Starbelly has played every corner of the US and have been sought out by artists such as Warren Zanes (of the Del Fuegos) and Pat Dinizio (of the Smithereens) to back them for showcases and tours.
