Levolution (album)

Article summary

Levolution is the second studio album by Australian rock band Juke Kartel, and the first American released album. Levolution was released to the Australian public through Carved Records on 20 August 2010, and later released to the United States on 28 September 2010. Produced by Brian Virtue (Jane's Addiction, Velvet Revolver, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Chevelle) and Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, 3 Doors Down, Nickelback), the album features a half-dozen freshly penned tracks and six from the band's 2009 Australian CD, Nowhere Left to Hide, remixed by Dan Korneff (My Chemical Romance, Cavo). With its overarching theme of personal growth and "the journey we’re all on", says vocalist/lyricist Toby Rand, Levolution finds musical parity in its strong hooks, multi-textured instrumentals and passionate vocals.

It means 'Understanding the process of life by evolving to new or greater levels'...we have been faced with many goals to rise to and concur and the word Levolution sums up our band life.

It has acoustic driven songs, heavy rock, and melodic sonics.…
