SharpTone Records welcomed Central Arkansas-based quartet Levels — Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice [guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — to its global roster back in 2023. The band dropped Pulse EP last year. Get it here.
Levels are back with their first taste of new music in a year in the form of the video for "Strange Things."
Watch it below.
"'Strange Things' captures the chaos, irony, and dark humor of a world spiraling out of control," explains the band. "It's a raw reflection societal and personal collapse; blending apocalyptic imagery with a rebellious spirit and a grim sense of liberation. It's about facing the end with your eyes open, a drink in hand, and no apologies."
Raise a pint, then! The song's industrial crunch and thick and hefty grooves will push it to the top of any workout playlist!
LEVELS are a cyber/industrial metal boy band from Arkansas known for fusing heavy music with elements of pop, electronic, and drum and bass. Since forming in 2016, they have independently amassed millions of streams, drawing influence from artists as diverse as Billie Eilish, The Prodigy, Static-X, and The Weeknd.
Following the success of their 2023 EP Pulse on SharpTone Records, which surpassed 1 million streams, LEVELS aren't adding to the noise; they're building something new, sharp, and unapologetically their own. Their sound fuses digital grit with raw emotion: Fark, distorted, and built to break through the static. LEVELS have built their rise on a fierce DIY ethic, steadily growing from small rooms to bigger stages, playing alongside bands such as Kittie, ERRA, Beartooth, The Devil Wears Prada, and more. LEVELS are more than a band. Their ever evolving world is built from cinematic visuals, visceral performances, and immersive storytelling, standing out in a hyper-connected yet emotionally disconnected era. With each track, they seek to reignite authentic connection. As they continue to carve their path through the metal landscape, their mission remains clear: don’t bury emotion – embrace it, channel it, and turn it into something that makes you feel again.
