The Seatbelts were a band formed and fronted by [[Yoko Kanno]] for the purpose of recording the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' soundtrack. They were less of a "band" in the strict sense of the term, and rather a [[Dream Team]] of musicians assembled specifically for the project (much like [[This Mortal Coil]] or [[UNKLE]]).

The band's style is pretty much textbook [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]], ranging from all sorts of [[Jazz]] to [[Blues]], [[Blues Rock]], [[Country]], straightforward [[Rock and Roll]] and [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]], [[Funk]], [[Electronic Music]], [[Po P]], pounding [[Techno]] and ballads. The main distinctive trait of their material is its [[Crowning Music of Awesome|total awesomeness]]. A large majority of it is made up of [[Music/Instrumentals|Instrumentals]], but there are more than a few tunes with vocals performed by guest vocalists - the most frequent used of these being Steve Conte and Mai Yamane.

The Seatbelts basically disbanded once the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' franchise ended, but some members have gone on to work with Kanno or each other on other projects.
