Hoodwink'd is the bold second album from New York's LVL UP, released in 2014 on Double Double Whammy. Blending elements of alternative and indie rock, the record explores nostalgic themes, superstitions, and the everyday weirdness that lingers just beneath the surface. With captivating performances by Mike Caridi, Dave Benton, Nick Corbo, and Greg Rutkin, the band delivers raw, honest songwriting highlighted by textured guitars and emotive lyrics.
This release showcases LVL UP’s knack for mixing playful, self-aware moments with deeply personal reflections—most notably on its emotionally direct title track. Enhanced by contributions from Elaiza Santos and crafted with a DIY spirit in Brooklyn and New Rochelle, Hoodwink'd stands out as an album that captures the band’s unique voice and creative vision at a pivotal point in their evolution.
