 Alternative Rock\\
 Northern Ireland
+Split Level were a Christian rock band from Northern Ireland, active from 1986 to 2000.
+Split Level first began their career in the mid-1980s, playing local Christian gatherings and festivals in Northern Ireland. A song of theirs appeared on a 1985 [[Word Records]] compilation called //The Buzz on the Streets//. Their debut recording appeared in 1986 on Big Feet Records, followed by the 1987 release //Sons of Liberty// on [[What? Records]].
+They began playing events in England soon after, and eventually relocated to England permanently. In 1991 they released //View of a World//, their first record to be pressed on CD, on German label [[Pila Music]]. Working with renowned producer Andy Piercy, the full-length //Boomerang// followed in 1992 to critical acclaim in the Christian music press. The //European Christian Booksellers' Journal// named //Boomerang// its Album of the Year in 1993. Their 1994 EP, //Call Me White Call Me Black//, was first recorded with the intent of selling during their Artists Against Racism tour in Germany, but was later tapped for general release. In 1995, the European Christian Booksellers' Journal gave Split Level its award for Best Christian Rock Band. Their next full-length, //glo.bal//, was released in both the UK and the U.S. in 1997 on [[Organic Records]]. Their 2000 live release was recorded in Ennepetal, Germany at the Christmas Rock Night festival 1998.
