Long-Running Punk Force Belvedere Announce New Album Seven Years of Bad Luck Out June 19 via Thousand Islands Records; New Single “Crimson” Out April 21

After three decades of pushing the boundaries of melodic hardcore, Calgary’s technical punk veterans Belvedere return with their seventh full-length album, Seven Years of Bad Luck, due out June 19 on Thousand Islands Records. The 11-track release arrives on the heels of an intense stretch of global touring and signals a band still evolving—restless, sharp, and as urgent as ever.

The album’s first single, “Crimson,” is now streaming, offering a powerful introduction to the record’s emotional and thematic core. Frontman Steven Rawles describes the track as a reflection of modern disillusionment and isolation:

“A desperate feeling of loneliness. You know that things aren’t right in the world, yet the voices of media, government and sycophants supporting them tells you the opposite. Terrible injustices pile up in front of your eyes, but these visualizations become a sea of echoes that are loud and disorientating. You’re not alone.”

Formed over 30 years ago, Belvedere have built a reputation for blending breakneck technicality with melody and introspection. Seven Years of Bad Luck continues that legacy while pushing into new territory, balancing contrasts at every turn: melodic yet dissonant, melancholy yet hopeful, cryptic yet direct, and intense yet dynamic. It’s a record that reflects both the band’s history and their refusal to stand still.

The current lineup features:

• Steven Rawles — Vocals / Guitar
• Casey Lewis — Drums / Vocals
• Ryan Mumby — Bass / Vocals
• Dan Wollach — Guitar / Vocals

The band has spent the last several years touring relentlessly across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, reconnecting with longtime fans and earning new ones along the way. In April 2026, Belvedere will head across Canada alongside Strung Out, followed by a return to Europe in June and July for select dates with Authority Zero, MakeWar, Strung Out, The Corps, and more.

Seven Years of Bad Luck was produced by Casey Lewis and Steven Rawles, recorded at Echo Base Studio, and mixed and mastered by Lewis. The album artwork was created by Seb Theriault (SterioDesign), with photography by Dominic Gendron.
