LVL UP is an American lo-fi band from Purchase, New York.

History

LVL UP formed in 2011 at SUNY Purchase as a recording project between Caridi, Benton, and their friend Ben Smith, with the original intention of releasing a split cassette with Corbo’s then-solo material. They instead released their debut full-length album, "Space Brothers" via Evil Weevil Records,[1] as one band, and Rutkin joined shortly afterwards for the group’s first show. Smith left the band for personal reasons just before the release of second album Hoodwink’d, a joint release on Caridi and Benton’s label Double Double Whammy and Exploding in Sound.[2][3][4][5]
