Leven - 3-song demo @ Score! Music Magazine

	Leven - 3-song demo
	Location	Iowa City, Iowa
	Initial Impression	I saw these guys live after hearing nothing but great things about them. I wasn't disappointed.
Notable Lyric	"Oh, the further that I walk, the longer that it seems to be to get to the place I need to be, with you, in you, your love, it crushes me." - "Lament"
Factoid	A friend recently was listing bands for me that I should check out. She said Leven. I was happy to report that I was one step ahead of her on that score.
Serve With	Your favorite band...Leven has opened for such bands as P.O.D., Tantric, The Color Red, Lollipop Lust Kill, Zao, Coal Chamber, and Five Point O.
Comments	Emotional, passionate, progressive, melodic hard rock. Sanguine lyrics, moving guitars, with a groove and a pulse that gets you moving. The screams don't sound frivolous- they're necessary. Though they're unapologetically Christian rock, which will inevitably keep them out of the mainstream, they're a great band.
