Levellers have announced details of a new November UK tour, that will see the band supporting their forthcoming new studio album 'Static On The Airwaves'. Tickets for Levellers are onsale this Friday at 9am.
Levellers recently unveiled details of the lead single from 'Static On The Airwaves', announcing they will release ‘Truth Is’ on Saturday 21st April. A Limited Edition Red Vinyl 7” version will be available exclusively as part of Record Store Day, with the digital download being available from online music stores the following day.
The single was produced by Sean Lakeman (brother of folk-star Seth Lakeman). Recorded ‘as live’ at Sono Studios in Prague ‘Truth Is’ was mixed in New York by the legendary Victor Van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Beth Orton, Nick Cave).
24 years after forming and still with their original line up, Levellers are still as musically and politically astute as ever. The lyrics to ‘Truth Is’ were inspired by the band’s tour to Athens in October 2009, where they witnessed first hand the effect that the economic turmoil was having on ordinary Greek people.
