[2] Taking their name from the '80s sitcom, Belvedere began in Calgary, in 1995, as the three-piece band of Steve Rawles (guitar/vocals), Brock (bass), and Dan Hrynuik (drums).

After spending most of 1999 on the road - along with Bad Religion and Strung Out, for a stint - Jump Start Records released Belvedere's follow-up album, Angels Live in My Town, in early 2000.

In 2001, Jump Start Records and the Montreal imprint Union 2112 released the album Twas Hell Said Former Child, which coincided with their first-ever European tour.

When it came time to reconvene for another studio album, Belvedere joined producer Blair Calibaba (Sum 41) in Calgary for the recording of Fast Forward Eats the Tape.

[5][6] As of late 2019, Jason Sinclair and Scott Marshall were no longer playing members of the band, citing creative differences as their reason for departure.
