“We have written a consciously political record, not as a manifesto which is how people used to take our lyrics but as a reaction to apathy - something we’re all guilty of. The songs on the album are observations on topics including war, the media, government, betrayal, life choices and broken dreams. Burn America Burn is about that country imploding from within, using the Virginia Tech massacre as an example. The song is from the gunman’s point of view.”  – Levellers

Fresh from a sell-out 20th Anniversary show at Brixton Academy, the Levellers are set for a very busy summer playing the new tracks, and old favourites, to festival crowds across the UK.

The new single is available as a free download on the 2nd June 2008
