biographical info
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 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".
Leviride's new 13-song sophomore album "Night Of The Drive-By" is out now through Addictive Records/Universal Music in Canada and digitally worldwide, available on major online music retailers including iTunes.

"Leviride perform some really beautiful music ... 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
"Economic yet inventive. Anthemic yet subtle. Familiar yet strange, like hit songs half-remembered from the better car rides of our dreams." -- BigTakeover.com
