LEVIRIDE-BIO
"Leviride perform some really beautiful music. Beautiful in that they can come across as a wonderful mix of The Clash and AC Newman if that was at all possible." -- ChartAttack.com
LEVIRIDE is synonymous with short, sweet rock epics. With a sound that varies from a hint of aggressive, melodic punk to gorgeous, lush guitar pop, Leviride kicks out its' own brand of anthemic indie rock.
Founded in 2001 by singer-guitarist Paul Lahey and drummer Andrew McMullen, the band also features lead guitarist Calvin Brown, and bassist Malcolm McKitrick.
The band's critically acclaimed full-length 2004 CD, Nothing's Getting Better (produced by Stephen Pitkin -- Elliot Brood, The Flashing Lights), was described by Exclaim magazine as "a peppy punk-to-blistering rock dynamic".
With over 3,000 copies of Nothing's Getting Better independently sold in 2004-05 and after charting on campus radio charts across Canada and the U.S., the band eclipsed the 1,500 copies sold of its' self-titled debut CD-EP (released in 2001). Endless North American-based touring and a blistering live show has helped soldify Leviride as an up and coming band not to be missed on the indie rock club circuit.
With the 2006 release of Leviride's full-length sophomore album, dubbed Night Of The Drive-By and recorded and produced by L.A.-based producer Frank Gryner (White Zombie, The Dandy Warhols, The Crystal Method), two of the album's tracks feature songstress Emm Gryner contributing background vocals such as on the kick-off single Your Remains. Night Of The Drive-By was released in Canada and digitally worldwide on November 7, 2006 on Addictive Records/Universal Music and via major online retailers such as iTunes, PureTracks, VirginUK, HMV, and others.

Opinions on Leviride:
"Leviride perform some really beautiful music. Beautiful in that they can come across as a wonderful mix of The Clash and AC Newman if that was at all possible. An aggressive punk sound punctuated by engaging pop lyrics could mean that these guys are on their way to bigger and better things." -- ChartAttack.com
"Leviride's music screams of originality and has an uncanny ability to beat the listening public into utter submission." -- Anti-Industry.com
"Economic yet inventive. Anthemic yet subtle. Familiar yet strange, like hit songs half-remembered from the better car rides of our dreams." -- BigTakeover.com
