White Belts
Bio:
White Belts – Boston’s Premier Emo & Pop-Punk Cover Band
The emo revival you didn’t know your reception needed – White Belts turns mid-2000s heartbreak anthems into live-wire sing-alongs that hit harder than a Dashboard Confessional chorus.
A Boston staple on the Emo Night circuit, White Belts is the cover band that nails the raw emotion and crunchy guitars of your favorite 90s–2000s emo, pop-punk, and post-hardcore deep cuts. Think Texas Is the Reason’s “Back and to the Left,” Piebald’s “American Hearts,” Taking Back Sunday’s angsty hooks, and a full spectrum from Sunny Day Real Estate to Thursday — all performed with the sweaty, cathartic energy that made those basement shows legendary. No filler, no post-2002 sellouts: just tight riffs, soaring vocals, and sets that leave crowds screaming lyrics they swore they’d forgotten.
Whether it’s a full-band takedown at The Sinclair or a scaled-down set for your private bash, White Belts brings the nostalgia without the MySpace-era cheese, making every event feel like the best night of junior year.
