THE LEVELLERS SET TO LEVEL AUSTRALIAN AUDIENCES IN OCTOBER

A quarter of a century after the release of their seminal record “Levelling The Land”, and Brighton based rockers The Levellers will be heading to Australia to celebrate the record that helped pave their 28 year career path, in full this October.

Playing hits from their 1991 era-defining record ‘Leveling The Land’ which included One Way, 15 Years and Far From Home The Levellers will celebrate in style, with the record played for audiences in its entirety, along with live favourites from the Levellers extensive back catalogue, spanning almost 30 years of British rock.

Levellers have been called a lot conflicting of things over their 27-year history. However, the closest thing to a consensus surrounding the seminal British folk-punk band is that their platinum-selling 1991 album Levelling The Land is an absolute classic. In one fell swoop it propelled a group of disenfranchised misfits from playing pubs in Brighton to headlining Glastonbury Festival, and in the process becoming ‘The most popular band in Britain’ (NME).

During the summer of 1991 Levelling The Land redefined the UK’s musical landscape. Counter-culture became culture, the disenfranchised found a voice, and not a single pub, club, campfire or festival anywhere in Europe failed to reverberate with the refrains of this iconic album. Levellers provided the soundtrack for a society fed up with the twin evils of Thatcherite politics, and the post-80’s, pre-grunge musical wasteland.
