What starts with unassuming guitars and vocals adds new lines, depths, and intensity, until its unrestrained, triumphant finish. “God is peeking, softly speaking,” repeats the chorus, working through the relationship between spirituality and creative inspiration, and introducing a band that is always pushing further. LVL UP – guitarists Mike Caridi and Dave Benton, bassist Nick Corbo, and drummer Greg Rutkin – is a true collaboration, a band that takes the stylistically distinct ideas of four members and brings them togeth- er into something new. Caridi, Benton, and Corbo write and sing equally, bringing their work to the group to be fully realized, resulting in an album built on different perspectives but a common drive. “We have very different inspirations across the board,” says Benton, noting his own admiration for the writer and documentarian Astra Taylor, Corbo’s interest in the mystical and the occult, and Caridi’s attention to personal storytelling. The music itself grows from a shared melodic and experimental sensibility, as well as a nod to iconic influences like Neutral Milk Hotel and Mount Eerie. LVL UP was formed in 2011 at SUNY Purchase as a recording project between Caridi, Benton, and their friend Ben Smith, with the original intention of releasing a split cassette with Corbo’s then-solo material. They instead released that album, Space Brothers, as one band, and Rutkin joined shortly afterwards for the group’s first show. Smith left the band for personal reasons just before the release of second album Hoodwink’d, a joint release on Caridi and Benton’s label Double Double Whammy and Exploding in Sound. DDW also put out records from other artists in the tight-knit community that launched the band. Also part of that university community was Return to Love’s producer Mike Ditrio, who mixed LVL UP’s previous records and “was basically a fifth member of the band,” says Corbo. “He played a huge role in developing the sound, without butting in too much. He also navigated our personal dynamic really nicely.” Artist LVL UP Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Sub Pop Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Hidden Driver Blur She Sustains Us Spirit Was Pain Play The Closing Door Five Men on the Ridge Cut from the Vine I Naked in the River with the Creator Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from LVL UP and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View LVL UP Return to Love (Loser Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 20th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders LVL UP Return to Love (Loser Edition) £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1166X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Julien Baker Sprained Ankle Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | 6131 Records | 1LP, 7" Released 14th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Julien Baker Sprained Ankle £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: 6131 Records SKU: OLE11191 Formats: 1LP, 7" Released Date: 14th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hot Water Music No Division Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | No Idea | 1LP Released 11th August 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hot Water Music No Division £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: No Idea SKU: NIR211 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anna's Anchor Everybody’s Welcome Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Failure By Design Records | 1LP Released 23rd November 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anna's Anchor Everybody’s Welcome £15.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Failure By Design Records SKU: FBD023LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pissed Jeans Shallow Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Includes 7", Includes Download Code Released 8th October 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pissed Jeans Shallow £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1109 Formats: 1LP, Includes 7", Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Every Time I Die Low Teens Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd September 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Every Time I Die Low Teens £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 274111 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Henrietta Paper Wings Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Animal Style | 1LP Released 13th May 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Henrietta Paper Wings £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Animal Style SKU: LPASR056 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Twenty One Pilots Blurryface: Live Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Atlantic | 3LP Released 25th November 2016 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Twenty One Pilots Blurryface: Live £75.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Atlantic SKU: 0075678664595 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Comeback Kid Die Knowing Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Victory | 1LP Released 31st March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Comeback Kid Die Knowing £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Victory SKU: VR702LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ritual Cloak Divine Invasions Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Bubblewrap Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th May 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ritual Cloak Divine Invasions £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Bubblewrap Records SKU: BWR058 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Green Day ¡Uno!
