Description

Quench your thirst with lyrics brimming over with power and meaning. Open your ears and heed the strumming, soothing soul of guitar. Feel the rhythmic, pulsating sensation of bass and drums. Use your senses. This is Deleveled -- ready to greet the masses with its own brand of music. Deleveled packages poignant gut-wrenching lyrics, execution of guitar riffs that rivals perfection, bass that embodies soul, and drums that provide backbone and stability. Deleveled's sound is genuine modern rock, with both thoughtful, sensuous songs that delve into the intricacies of relationships, as well as tunes with raw power, grit and emotion that cause a crowd to get to their feet and heads to nod in unison.

After forming in the spring of 2002, the members of Deleveled immediately set to work writing and creating music. April 2003 marked the release of the group's first CD, Later Than Usual -- an impressively packaged 8-song disc. The years 2003 and 2004 presented a time for the band to tour throughout the Southeast, sharing the stage with such national acts as Crossfade and LA Guns. They are now in the pre-production stage of their sophomore studio effort - this time from the comfort of their own home. The band has spent the past year assembling a home recording studio and the members of Deleveled are now enjoying the ease with which they can lay down new tracks. The band hopes for the disc to be released by the end of 2005. They are on hiatus from touring in order to devote full attention to recording, but they look forward to getting out and playing the new material for their fans as soon as possible.

Ryan Hudson (vocals), Jeff Pitts (guitar), and Lee Pridgen (drums) are individuals with diverse musical backgrounds, but they share a love for making music and have their collective eye on success. Hudson is the sole lyricist, while the band creates music that is interwoven with his melodic lines. Hudson draws from a combination of life experience and creations of a vivid imagination to craft his lyrics. Pitts takes on the roles of rhythm and lead guitarist within the band, and he still believes in the power of the guitar solo. Pridgen rounds out Deleveled's sound by providing the complementary rhythm.

"Deleveled writes straightforward, radio-friendly rock songs," said Justin Bailey in a review of Later Than Usual in the April 17, 2003 edition of The Florence Morning News. "The band's sound is of the earnest, thought-provoking kind." Producer Kevin Smith worked with Deleveled on crafting the band's debut CD. "The guys in Deleveled are rare -- really hard workers determined to see this project be the best it could be, which is not the norm for a lot of musicians I know. Everybody wants to be famous overnight, but few are willing to put in the blood, sweat, and tears." In the fall of 2003, Deleveled received recognition in Columbia's Free Times when the band earned the accolade for "Best CD" in the publication's annual "Best of Columbia" search.
