DOWN BY LAW (USA) - Windwardtidesandwaywardsails (sealed LP copy) (2020) Chase The Glory Records (re-issue) on Red vinyl - 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.  --  Chase The Glory Records – CTG011
