Split Level were a Christian rock band from Ireland, whose career began in the mid-1980s and stretched into the 2000s.

History

Split Level first began their career in the mid-1980s, playing local Christian gatherings and festivals in Ireland. Their debut recording appeared in 1986, and they began playing events in England soon after; by the end of the decade the group decided to move to England permanently.
