Down By Law - Windwardtidesandwaywardsails LP
DOWN BY LAW (USA) - Windwardtidesandwaywardsails (2020 Chase The Glory Records Re-issue) Your choice of Blue or Red vinyl (both are sealed copies; and both versions are limited to 100 copies) It's refreshing to hear that band leader/vocalist Dave Smalley hasn't forgotten how to rock. We are treated here, to melodic and passionate Punk Rock mixed with touches of Hardcore. This record, the first in four years for DBL, is a return to the band's roots best captured on their 1991 Self-Titled debut and even more successfully on 1994's "Punkrockacdemyfightsong." Long-time guitarist and collaborator Sam Williams is especially critical to the mix this time writing or co-writing about half the material with Smalley. It's taken almost ten years, but DOWN BY LAW are back to doing what they do best. **originally published on exclaim.ca** Chase The Glory Records – CTG011
