Levellers - One Way
"The Levellers are a popular English 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 in 1988. Contrary to popular believe they did not take their name from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwells New Model Army, or as a reference to 'The Level', an area of Brighton around a flat triangular green in the centre of hilly Brighton, where members of the band used to live, but instead, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, they got it from a dictionary. Friend was quoted as saying "Leveller means to make all things equal, and it kind of appealed to our nature."[1] Strongly interested and outspoken about green anarchism issues the band have built up a strong and devoted fanbase, despite being nearly universally ignored by mainstream critics. The band have been spokespeople for a number of issues including campaigning against the Criminal Justice Act and various anti-capitalist and environmental issues. They continue to tour extensively around Britain and Europe but maintain a mutual dislike with the music press which stems from their early days."
