Guest lurchers&terriers Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 mega big antis mate. i used to worship them. obsessed in fact. great music great lads (iv met them) really down to earth and love getting pissed with there fans but there antis. shame relay. one of the best live bands ever though. did you know they have two records at Glastonbury, the biggest stage front crowd and the biggest crowd at the jazz world stage, also no other band went platinum in the 90s more than the levellers and they never went mainstreem.

Funny thing is that the "Levellers" were an anarcho-communist movement who believed in living off the land. Now New Model Army - there's a great band! Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,496 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Leveller from this site is the actual bass guitarist with the band Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borntoshoot 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 they may be anti's but so many of their songs make sense, social insecurity, cardboard box city, battle of the beanfield( hey hey now cant you see theres nothing here that you can call free), when love runs out of time, shame about them being anti's but most of their music is great and they are a great live band.

Macsen 4 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Regardless of their stance towards hunting the Levs are indeed a fine band, seen them live more times than I care to remember over the years. Most of the early albums are spot on, but there are a few duds too...(hello pig, green blade rising), the latest album is pretty good actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
