Biography

  • The Levellers (formed in 1988) is a British alternative rock, folk and punk band that subtly incorporates Celtic music traditions into their politically-fervent musical output, hailing from Brighton, England, UK.

    Origianlly comprised of vocalist and guitarist Mark Chadwick, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Alan Miles, bassist Jeremy Cunningham, drummer Charlie Heather, and fiddle player John Sevink, The Levellers were formed in 1988. The following year the group issued a pair of cassettes on their own Hag label, “An Agreement of the People” and “All the Free Commons of England”, which earned the group a sizeable national following. The band’s subsequently release, the 1989 EP “Carry Me”, was led by the singles “Carry Me” and “England My Home”, both of which generated interest for The Levellers after being played on BBC Radio 2. The group toured in support of the record, before releasing the EP “Outside/Inside” towards the tail-end of 1989.

    Due to these successes The Levellers signed with the French label Musidisc, who issued the band’s debut, platinum-selling record, “A Weapon Called the Word” in 1990. Led by the single “World Freak Show”, the album exposed the band to a national audience despite not reaching the UK charts. Following a move to China Records in 1991, The Levellers released their sophomore album “Levelling the Land” the same year, which charted at No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart. Aided by the No. 1 indie chart single “One Way”, the band supported the release with a sold-out European tour.

    The full-length “Levellers” arrived in 1993, peaking at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart but also found the charts in the Netherlands and Sweden. Two years later the UK No. 1 album “Zeitgeist” was released, marking The Levellers’ most successful album to date. Led by the singles ”Hope St.” and “Fantasy”, the record established the group as alternative rock powerhouses in Europe, however failed to make an impression in the U.S. The live album “Headlights, White Lines, Black Tar Rivers (Best Live)” arrived in 1996 showcasing the group’s well-received live shows, followed by the No. 5 charting album “Mouth to Mouth” in 1997. The Levellers’ last release on China Records came in 2000 with “Hello Pig”, which charted at No. 28 on the UK Albums Chart.

    Following period of inactivity for the group, in 2003 The Levellers returned to issue the studio album, “Green Blade Rising”, which was seen as a return to form. In 2005 the band were album to maintain this momentum with the inspiring “Truth & Lies”, which, like all of the group’s releases was toured extensively in support of. The politically-charged “Letters from the Underground” followed in 2008, after which Chadwick released the solo album “All the Peices” before returning to The Levellers in 2012 to released their 10th studio album “Static on the Airwaves”.

Live reviews

  • Levellers

    Brighton, England based band, Levellers, have been around for quite some time now; in fact they’ve been playing together since the late 80s. Because of their long presence in the music industry and from jamming together, they are able to take their music chemistry and show everyone how well they blend in a live show.

    With what is probably one of the coolest openings to a show, the band has a man playing a didgeridoo, with his face and body painted. You then slowly hear the sounds of the guitar getting louder and louder, until you hear the cymbal start up with the beat. The buildup results in the stage starting to light up and everyone in the band joining in. Once they start playing the songs you know and love, you can’t help but jam along! They have a lot of synchronized lighting for their show, but their personalities definitely shine through all the staging. The crowd is always full of long time fans, who rock out and sing along. Every so often, between songs, the band will say something to the crowd, whether it be a thank you or an introduction of the next song they are about to play. A show that is enjoyable to so many people of so many different age groups.

  • Absolutely bril-li-ant night! Right up there with my best concerts ever attended.

    Night of firsts too.

    First time I saw the Levs in quite an intimate setting (Cloud Nine in Tivoli/Vredenburg Utrecht only holds a couple of hundred I reckon). First seated concert (audience AND the band) except for the encore. Was a bit apprehensive about that, but the atmosphere was SO superb! It was like watching them play in your living room.

    AND first time I heard them play acoustic, with an extra string section of 3.

    The quieter acoustic versions of familiar songs with the extra strings .... WOW! They played nearly all of their acoustic album We The Collective. Elation (Matt on keyboard, the strings, one of the girls on the strings on backing vocals ... actually brought tears to my eyes. That was a first in many, many years of going to concerts too!

    PS. what's with (nearly) all of the band on bare feet?

  • Got to the gig on time just to see The Levellers, the tickets said 7pm doors open when they actually opened at 6.30! Totally missed The Selecter who I've wanted to see since 1979! Anyhow I've seen The Levs quite a few times and they never disappoint. This was their "Greatest Hits" tour and it was definitely all killer no filler. They even brought a bagpiper on around the middle of the gig which obviously goes down well in Scotland. Sometimes when bands do this it can be cheesy but on this occasion it fitted to their sound very well. If you like good raucous Irish tinged music similar to The Pogues,Saw Doctors or The Waterboys this is for you. Go and get a ticket!

  • The band and support were great. Unfortunately for us, the fact that the ticket said doors open at 4 was misleading as we were frustrated to then find out that the music wasn’t starting for another 2 and 3 quarter hours. I gather the idea was to get people drinking, but we don’t drink so very frustrating. We did try to phone the castle in the day to find out but it was shut. Maybe doors open at 4, music starts at 6:45 written on the ticket would be better. Maybe there would be less people falling over and passed out on the floor. Anyway, great music, great venue.

  • Levellers were fantastic as ever. They had an extended acoustic band who were awesome, and although I’m not used to them performing at a seated gig (we are usually dancing like lunatics!) it was a great different experience. They played new & old songs, they kept the energy & flow in the room & are the same amazing guys they have always been. Roundhouse is my fave venue & did not dissapoint, friendly staff & well organised & great sound.

    Levellers always a great band & amazing night thank you

  • I first listened to The Levellers at age 18 and 20 years later...still enjoining their music. I've seen this band 141 times so no argue this is a good live band. Every gig is a party and everyone is having a good time, singing, dancing and laughing. The lyrics are great and have a meaning. The Levellers stand for what they sing. And of course the concert in Cologne was another brilliant evening.

  • After last seeing The Levellers in 1993, it was great to see that they remain as current now as they were then. Here in Melbourne there was a mix of the old country faithful, and new Australian listeners who weren't even born when Levelling the land was first released!

    Great concert, all the hits! No single highlights, it was all fantastic!

  • Seeing the Levellers perform the whole of "Levelling the Land" on its 25th anniversary at Brixton Academy was just like being back in 1991.

    The energy and angst from the band had everyone bouncing up & down & punching the air to every call.

    Superb evening had by everyone fortunate enough to have been there

  • Had a brilliant night, the Levellers were amazing as always and the venue was easy to get to from the train. The air conditioning could of been better as it was very hot in there and next time will get an end seat as it was a bit cramped stuck in the middle but overall pretty good night

  • Absolutely fab gig last night. This was my first trip to Brixton Academy and I'll be back again for Pixies on Tuesday and on the 15th for Primal Scream. What a way to start a month of gigs. The performance of Levelling the Land was phenomenal!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
