The Levellers release ‘Burn America Burn’ as a limited edition 7” vinyl on November 4th to coincide with the 2008 US Election. The collectable 7” vinyl will be available in two different sleeves and as a download from all major download stores. The Levellers have an unmistakable look to their artwork, all designed by bassist Jeremy who has won awards for his sleeve and logo design, making these two individually designed sleeves highly collectable. The b-side is taken from sessions in the band’s own Metway studios where the Levellers collaborated with other bands. The track “15 Years”, originally from the classic album “Levelling The Land”, features The Electric Soft Parade, a version which offers a uniquely lackadaisical take presenting the song in a completely different light.” "Burn America Burn is a brilliant slice of fiery pop reminiscent of late Clash" Classic Rock 9/10 The 7” is available from Townsend Records “Burn America Burn” will also be available as an MP3 from all major download stores.
You can watch the video on our homepage www.levellers.co.uk
The Levellers have never been a band to shy away from political and social commentary and whilst watching the US destroy itself felt the need to have a poke at cultural imperialism reflecting the rot of American society. In fact, whilst front man Mark Chadwick was focusing musically on America’s decaying culture Jeremy was writing the lyrics expanding the theme and applying it to all nations not just America, having a broader approach to the same sentiments. Lyrically the song highlights these issues through the eyes of a Virginia Tech type gunman exploring why and how humanity could descend to such depths.
Burn America Burn is taken from the genre-defining critically acclaimed studio album Letters From The Underground, their fastest selling album in years, described by Mojo as ‘an impressive return to the fray’ and as ‘one of the most politically committed and musically incisive albums of their career...’ by the Daily Mirror.

| ALL KINDS OF DISORDER |
In All Kinds Of Disorder Nick Burbridge (McDermott's Two Hours) combines talents with Jon Sevink (Levellers) and Rob Kennedy on an album of spoken word, music and effects. This recording represents a groundbreaking fusion of ideas, across a range of styles, to create a unique listening experience
In the reading of poetry to folk music Nick Burbridge may well have invented another genre! He is a superb performance poet and Jon's intricate music fits the words superbly. (folking.com)
All Kinds Of Disorder is featured in November's issue of Rock’n’Reel and is available from www.levellers.co.uk
