Levels sport a frustratingly Google-unfirendly name, so let me shine a light on their background – the trio of Florida residents Cody Wilson, Mikey Rollingchild, and Roxor Evensen have been longtime friends ever since they met 15 years ago, and through thick and thin they finally stopped at California and made it their home. The sludge-pop enthusiasts like to bridge a gap between noise and melody, employing jerky guitars and vibrant choruses that incite listeners to stand up and shout. Check out the payfully sinister promo cut for their song "Regrets", which accentuates their pop tendencies in both their tasteful riffs and call-and-response vocals. – Juan Rodríguez
