About

Levellers are an English folk rock and anarcho-punk band formed in Brighton, East Sussex, in 1988, consisting of Mark Chadwick (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Cunningham (bass guitar), Charlie Heather (drums), Jon Sevink (violin), Simon Friend (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Matt Savage (keyboards) and Dan Donnelly (guitar, mandolin, vocals). Taking their name from the Levellers political movement, the band released their first EP in 1989 and LP in 1990, with international success following upon signing to China Records and the release of their second album, Levelling the Land. The band were among the most popular indie bands in Britain in the early 1990s, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival, first in 1992, then in 1994, where they performed as the headline act on The Pyramid Stage to a record crowd of 300,000 people. They continue to record and tour.

The Levellers est un groupe de rock britannique, originaire de Brighton, en Angleterre. Il est principalement influencé par la musique traditionnelle britannique et irlandaise et le punk, lui-même descendant du rock 'n' roll. S'il fallait définir un style musical, on pourrait parler de punk celtique.

Le groupe, actif depuis la fin des années 1980 et plutôt marqué à gauche de l'échiquier politique, est l'auteur de nombreuses chansons engagées en faveur de l'environnement, contre les abus de pouvoir, le capitalisme et l'armée ou à propos de thèmes de société.
