Biography

New York City

One. LEVY is a four-piece band from New York City who have been together for almost three years. James Levy was a regular performer at the Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village where he met bassist James Broughel and guitarist Matthew Daniel Siskin, drummer David Daniels joined later. They’ve cut their teeth playing high profile support slots for bands like Razorlight, Guillemots, Adam Green, The Maccabees and The Zutons.

In 2005, LEVY charted #37 on KCRW and made the top 20 on over 200 american college radio stations and judging by their debut album (released by One Little Indian) - it’s not hard to see why. LEVY has also garnered much love across the Atlantic, having been playlisted on XFM as well as numerous BBC radio shows. They’ve done in studio live sessions on BBC 6 Music with Gideon Coe, and last fall James of LEVY had a sit down interview with John Kennedy live on XFM London, where he played acoustic for over an hour.

In April of 2006, the band joined friends The Maccabees for a 14 city UK tour ending at London’s Barfly, where LEVY headlined to a packed enthusiastic and often, singing along audience. On their return back to the states, LEVY played alongside The Guillemots at their feature Bowery Ballroom show.

Rotten Love (the album, not the song) is unashamedly simple and pure - receiving national as well as international acclaim from Mojo, Q Magazine, Uncut & Paste. James Levy has spoken about his desire to write songs that 13-year-olds want to be able to play, and none of the ten songs here outstay their welcome by a single note.

    I just do not see the Coldplay similarity... Honestly. Maybe Travis...

    The first half of Rotten Love is great; the rest of their stuff holds up but isn't really fantastic, but i'm still surprised at how unknown they are.

    Jesus the Coldplay comparisons need to stop. I just got Rotten Love and it's pretty good. Not brilliant, but it's good. Reminds me of The Smiths, in a good way.

    Two terrific albums. Also worth checking out, the albums he's released as Yvel and James Levy.
