Irish trio Leveland (pronounced Level Land) have release their debut single ‘National Treasure’ via Super Native Records.  ‘National Treasure’ is taken from the band’s debut album ‘VESSELS’ set for release in Sept 2021.

“It’s a song about the withering end of a relationship that no one is willing to fix or walk away from, whether it be with your friends or partner. I think at a certain point in my life I started to accept things for the way they were rather than strive to improve them. This of course led to the end of many personal relationships and in turn alienation,” explains singers Oisin O’Scolai.

 “I found it fitting to write about these matters with a smirk, confessing the end of some of the best years of my life with a sort of ‘Oh well’ attitude. The writing occurred at the beginning of the pandemic, however I felt like I’d been self-isolating for years at that point, hence “Cut me out of cardboard stick me by your side. Throughout the song I’m trying to convey something intangible through rather bleak physical imagery. The haunted house, the cancelled holidays and owning it all at the same time.”

Leveland are comprised of Oisin O’Scolai (Vocals, guitars, keys, synths, percussion) Chris Doherty (Bass Guitar) and Stephen Leacock (Drums). The group formed purely by accident when Oisin O’Scolai found himself at home to rural Ireland due to the pandemic where he began writing and recording new songs in a spare room in his Mother’s house, as a solo artist, however within a short space of time he was ready to present a new batch songs to his Belfast based producer Martin Corrigan and the need to form a bad quickly emerged.
