Listen to universal songs about growing up and growing old in their debut album - Leven the Vale. Followed by their second album the cutting edge of Dormitory Town.
Now released the third album - Four Towns and a Republic completes the Hattrick - more songs about the towns that take the side of the River Leven and the people that provide such rich material.
