Belaire Exploding Impacting Cari Palazzolo Christa Palazzolo Jason Chronis Matt Simon Austin Voxtrot Twee

Hypeful is long overdue for a Band To Watch feature and the summer heat probably has you thirsty for some up-beat, put-the-windows-down songs. Allow me to introduce you to Belaire! Familiar faces to the Austin music scene for the past couple of years, the quartet is made-up of twin sisters Cari and Christa Palazzolo and Voxtrot bandmembers Jason Chronis and Matt Simon.

After releasing their oh-so-catchy debut LP, Exploding, Impacting, last summer, there was some concern about the group’s future due to every bandmember having numerous irons in the fire. (Again, ever heard of a l’il band called Voxtrot?) The good news is that Belaire have recently reformed to get their musical project moving full-time, including focusing on the recording of a new album. In the meantime, last year’s Exploding, Impacting is a perfect summer pop album worth revisiting. It’s bursting with buoyant and colorful twee-electro-pop melodies that will put a smile on your face while outdoor temperatures escalate.
