“I dig all of the songs contained in this record. And I also dig all of the songs that inspired them. That sorta makes me feel like a man full of doubts that can’t distinguish between the real thing and a band of pranksters who can really play and pull off different styles. I knew this was supposed to be fun (the fine liner notes are quite clear of The Beltholes’ intent) Truth of the matter is, I need bands like these; those with an identity unknown, whose mere existence is the spontaneous idea of a past listening experience. It makes me feel like I am listening to the real thing, but guess what, I am not. Best of all, I am not making any rich people richer. This wouldn’t be it, if there wasn’t any talent and of that The Beltholes has enough to piss off a few famous people. No one shall come to For Whom The Beltholes expecting pure rock, or pure boogie, or pure punk, or pure garage. If in the need for all of the above, then this is it.”
West Coast Performer says:
“Seattle’s The Beltholes carry on the proud tradition of artists who have used the iconic Meet The Beatles record as the basis for an album cover and some folks will probably check it out on that merit alone. The music inside For Whom the Beltholes, however, only occasionally recalls The Beatles. The Beltholes’ musical tastes are so varied that a single sound can’t be pegged on these guys. Producer Kurt Bloch manages to wring a thoroughly satisfying, big-time sound out of the band, with occasional segues to keep the music from encountering too much dead space..
Any faults are redeemed on the album’s single funniest song, “Rockin’ Retro Losers,” in which the band assumes the point of view of a misguided critic and takes shots at bands who rip off the old masters — bands like The Beltholes, for instance. They can and do laugh at themselves, and it makes all the difference.”
McGreetings The Beltholes, Cheers for being my friend on myspace and I sincerely hope you enjoyed our music. Please Keep in touch as we value your friendship and support very much! All the very best to you and yours, from McDave and the boys of Pegasus in Bonnie Scotland. ROCK ON! and have a great weekend.
Spokane is infested with said, "rockin retro loosers" so it was pretty funny when you rocked that song at the Zombie Lounge last year. everyone in that venue looked offended. Thanks for taking them down a notch.
