Background

The Megas, sometimes performing as The Belmonts, are a Los Angeles-based independent video game cover band. They are primarily known for their work based on Capcom's Mega Man franchise, but from 2016 onwards have also covered tracks from Konami's Castlevania series. They differentiate themselves from other artists in the scene by adding lyrics and blending original material with the games' melodies. The band gained initial popularity through Newgrounds and MySpace in the late 2000s, as well as their live performances at MAGFest, Nerdapalooza, and the Video Games Live tour. Capcom has occasionally promoted the group, and used their material to market Mega Man Universe in 2010.
