The Bellrays (also capitalized as The BellRays ) are an United States|American group that combines garage rock music with soul music|soul singing styles.

They have been with several independent labels, including Upper Cut, Poptones, Alternative Tentacles, Bittersweet, Shock, Cheap Lullaby, Vicious Circle, Anodyne.

On the group's MySpace page, they describe themselves as follows:


"High Octane Rock and Roll& #33; Biography schmiography& #33; Who cares about where they came from or what they did before or how many records they put out. Stats are not what music or this band is about. If you have an open mind and want something challenging in your life then this is where you want to stop and listen. Just take it in and make up your own mind. You want somebody to tell you what it is go to Kelly Clarkson 's website instead. You tell us what we're about and then tell your friends whether you like it or not."


"Zero PM" was featured in the video game Driv3r and "Revolution Get Down" in a commercial for the Nissan Xterra . "Revolution Get Down" was also used as a fade-to-commercial song during the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|2006 NCAA Tournament in the George Mason University|Mason - University of Florida|Florida semifinal on CBS Sports .
