"The stage is where we live" proclaims Leo Gray, guitarist and vocalist of Ground Level, "Its where the music is definitely meant to be heard". Leo, along with Scott Leef, drums, and Jeff Buck on bass, combine for over 30 years of live performance experience. This collective experience runs the gamut of every musical genre from glam rock to jazz to metal and comes together for one explosive stage show.
It all began in late 2003, Scott Leef (drums and vocals), Buck (bass and vocals) and Leo Gray (guitar and vocals), came up with the concept of creating a band that could fuse their collective rock and metal influences. The writing began immediately and Ground Level was born. With a mentality of playing shows anywhere and everywhere, the band quickly gained the respect and admiration of fans around Ontario. Balancing time between the stage and the studio, the band released two EPs in 2004 and a full-length album, Trustfire, in 2005.
With distribution to major stores across Canada and digital sales around the world, Ground Level has been able to reach a global fan base.
Since forming, Ground Level have successfully inked two clothing sponsorships, worked with some of Torontos top booking agents and have had one of their songs included on the soundtrack for the movie The Intercessor, which appeared at the American Film Festival in 2005. The high octane music from Trustfire is constantly being requested for use in other video projects.
For 2006, Ground Level has partnered with the Germany-based alcohol company, Jagermeister, to bring even more excitement to the live show. This sponsorship means bigger and better shows for the band and their fans (who doesnt like free giveaways?). Taking their show on the road, the band continues to assault the stages of Torontos biggest venues including The Reverb, The Opera House, Bovine Sex Club, The Revival and Healeys. Ground Level have also been hitting every venue possible throughout Southwestern Ontario, from Windsor to Ottawa and all points in between.
Constantly writing new material, Ground Level lets the crowd have the final say as new songs are always being tried and tested at each show. No matter what city they are in or what crowd they are playing to, when Ground Level is on stage, theyre right at home.
