notfakemaris Dance Gavin Dance brought their genre-bending sound to Nashville on June 4, 2025, taking over Marathon Music Works for an unforgettable night of music and movement. The lineup was stacked with energy from start to finish, kicking off with the fiery pop-punk stylings of Belmont, followed by a vibrant, emotionally charged set from The Home Team. The atmosphere was buzzing long before the headliners took the stage, and by the time Dance Gavin Dance launched into their set, the crowd was more than ready to lose themselves in the chaos, groove, and technical brilliance the band has become known for.
Belmont
Belmont is a boundary-pushing pop-punk band from Chicago, Illinois, known for their technical guitar work, aggressive edge, and genre-fusing sound. Formed in 2014, the band quickly gained traction with their energetic performances and sharp songwriting. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2018, marked them as rising stars in the punk scene. However, it was their 2022 album Aftermath that took things to the next level—blending metalcore riffs, progressive song structures, and electronic elements without losing the infectious melodies that first put them on the map.
Belmont’s music is raw, fast-paced, and emotionally charged, often reflecting on self-doubt, mental health, and personal growth. With tight musicianship and fearless experimentation, they’ve earned a reputation for being both technically skilled and deeply relatable. Their live shows pack a punch, offering an experience that’s both high-octane and emotionally resonant. Belmont continues to evolve their sound with each release, staying ahead of the curve in the ever-changing world of alternative music.
