Levellers I Toppform Till København I Oktober 2012-08-21 15:30 CEST Levellers i toppform till København i oktober Danmarks-aktuella the Levellers har haft en hektisk sommar med albumrelease och festivalspelningar. Recensionerna både vad det gäller skivan och konserter har varit överväldigande och lovar en live-upplevelse utöver det vanliga när bandet den 27 oktober kommer till VEGA i København. Brittisk press skriver bland annat att sångaren Mark Chadwick är bättre än någonsin, energin på topp och att bandet levererar en set-lista som är "absolute classic". Folk/rock-bandet Levellers från Brighton uppnådde närmast ikon-status under 90-talet och när bandet nu närmar sig sitt 25-årsjubileum gör de det med glöden och orginalmedlemmarna i behåll. Den 29 juni släppte de ett album som hyllats som något av det bästa bandet gjort. Tidningen Classic Rock ger skivan 8 av 10 möjliga och skriver bla att detta är albumet dom tystar kritikerna och belönar de trogna fansen. Albumet ”Static on the airwaves” skildrar en kontinent i kris. - Politikerna och bankerna har dumpat bördan på de som ligger underst i högen, säger Mark Chadwick. Nu betalar de priset för förödelsen som andra orsakat. På 90-talet var The Levellers ett av de verkligt stora bandet och många minns nog deras bejublade framträdanden då de var huvudakter på såväl Hultsfreds som Roskilde vid ett flertal tillfällen. 2011 belönades de på BBC Radio 2 ”Folk award” med motiveringen ”bara de starka överlever och The Levellers har gjort det genom att vara trogna sina rötter”, ett påstående som bekräftas med råge på det nya albumet. Recensionerna av nya skivan ”Static on the Airwawes” vittnar om en skiva som är bland bandets bästa någonsin, om inte den bästa, som kombinerar utveckling och mognad med en återgång till de musikaliska rötterna och ett lika glödande politiskt budskap som någonsin. Live i Norden 2012: 23/10 Malmö, KB 24/10 Oslo, John Dee 25/10 Stockholm, Göta Källare 26/10 Göteborg, Sticky Fingers 27/10 Köpenhamn VEGA Hela turnén, videos, intervjuer mm: http://www.levellers.co.uk Pressbilder, engelsk biografi, lyssna på hela skivan: www.levellersdownload.com/EPK För intervjuer, recensions ex mm: [email protected] I media om nya skivan & spelningar 2012: “The Levellers album to silence the critics and repay the faithful is here - tune in.”Classic Rock “Levellers har begået et stærkt album med fremragende musikalske præstationer over hele linjen. Bandet holder det høje niveau fra ”Letters From The Underground” og viser, at 25 år på bagen i deres tilfælde kun er en fordel. Det skarpe udtryk fra de unge dage er tilsat en tilpas mængde modenhed, og kombinationen af folkrock og punk-attitude er fortsat på et højt niveau.”Diskant.dk “True to form Mark Chadwick steps into view and the crowd erupts as the violin call to arms fills the room, slowly all the members come on stage until the room is full of flailing arms and the Brighton based six-piece have started what is one of their most varied and satisfying set-lists ever. […]Levellers completely smashed it, and bought their new album into the world with a bang, sending out a revved- up sweaty crowd of happy fans into the London night. “ Rhythm Circus “it's sold out of course, and the audience gets a glorious gig, the band seem to have had a fresh shot of energy. Something that stands out on the album is how good lead singer Mark Chadwick's voice is sounding these days, in the recent past it has sounded a bit rough, but whatever he has done it has worked a treat. Tonight the Levellers sounded better than they have for some time, and delivered an absolute classic set list.”Spiral Earth “Static On The Airwaves is the Levellers tenth album, one that connects every strand of the band's DNA placing it right up there with their best work.”Spiral Earth “The Levellers have delivered what should be seen not just as a great album, but as an important album.”Folk Radio UK “Though they’re approaching 25 years of righteous indignation, Levellers’ 10th album tells us that they’ve lost none of their bite or skill in honing an uplifting tune around which they deliver that fire and fury. After an (in hindsight) rather insipid and patchy effort last time out, on 2008’s Letters From The Underground, what they’ve got here is a dynamic play-it-loud maelstrom of sawing fiddles and firebrand lyrics.” Record Collector Magazine (4 out of 5).

  • Levellers | Static on the Airways
    Levellers | Static On The Airways The Levellers' new album sees the band in as militant a mood as ever. "Static On The Airwaves" portrays a continent in crisis. The first single, "Truth Is", was inspired by the impressions which the British outfit gathered on visits to Athens. "The politicians and bankers have dumped all the burdens on those at the bottom of the pile," says singer Mark Chadwick. "They're now paying for the havoc caused by others." The Levellers are still angry. The Brighton-based folk-punk band are unrivalled in their commitment to the principles of liberty as they doggedly pursue the fight for equality, understanding and freedom. No other musicians occupy such a hard-edged position on capitalism, display such a rabble-rousing approach in their lyrics and music. But this is only one side of "Static On The Airwaves". Where there is injustice, there is also hope: "We've got a lot of different stories on the album, and most of them are told from a highly personal standpoint," says Chadwick of the album's general tenor. "They are real stories about real people, and there's hope even in their darkest moments." The Levellers have also made strides on a musical level. They remain a folk-rock band, of course, and "Static On The Airwaves" is a folk-rock album. At the same time, the increased use of keyboards nods in the direction of 1980s New Wave or electronic influences. The harmonious backing vocals come more to the fore. The tempo has been slowed down and the harmonies frequently seem more thoughtful.
