The Levellers (Band)

The Levellers is a band that plays Folk-rock or Indie rock, influenced by Punk and traditional English music. They are based in Brighton, England where they were founded around 1988. They took their name from The Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; but the name is also a reference to 'The Level', an area of Brighton around a flat trangular green in the centre of hilly Brighton, where members of the band used to live. Their greatest commercial hits include "Just the One" from the Album "Zeitgeist", released in 1994 and "Beautiful Day" from the album "Mouth to Mouth". They make frequent tours through Europe. In 2003 they set up their own festival called "Beautiful Days" which takes place in South Devon, England in August. Their most recent album is called "Green Blade Rising" .
