About Me

Decided to start throwing some ideas into the melting pot late in the day, to take one last stand against the tidal wave of crap littering the net, charts, racks of shops and bargain bins. To offer an alternative to the fakers, wannabe’s, never will be’s and has beens. To make music and songs and sounds totally independent of any bandwagon, scene or trend. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, to take advantage of being able to get music directly to anyone who might enjoy it. For that is the sole purpose of music........Lemmy once said there are only two types of music...."good and bad" .........and we agree! MyGen Profile Generator


Who are we? The band began at the beginning of 2007 firstly as a songwriting partnership between close friends Colin Baxter and Mark Strange who had previously worked together in another band. After putting together several songs and playing a host of acoustic gigs they felt the songs were strong enough to be performed at full band level...and so Mark’s brother Alan was recruited ..boards, Craig Millar on bass and Colin Boyle on drums. From here The Levings were born.The five members of The Levings bring together a number of styles and personal influences which explains the diverse sound of the band.Collectively influenced by xtc, wings, talking heads, beatles, dylan, television, squeeze, cream, weller, byrds, small faces, doors, beach boys among others, there are no hard and fast rules to the style of songs written by the band. The Levings feel that today’s music listener doesn’t like to be pigeon holed in the same way bands dislike it, so look to produce good music people want to hear rather than stick to a formula.Collectively, The Levings is in it’s infancy, although individually bring together years of musical experience which will hopefully help shape the future.
