Unwritten Law Australian tour

Official Press Release:

For

the past decade, Southern California's UNWRITTEN LAW has consistently

triumphed over adversity. After the release of 5 records on 5 different

major labels, UNWRITTEN LAW continued to thrive at the bewilderment of

label reps and industry insiders thanks to the support of their

die-hard fan base. Now the group is giving back to the fans that have

weathered the storms of the music business along with them; with the

release of their first ever live album and DVD ‘Live And Lawless’, in

stores this August 2008. 

The

2-disc CD/DVD captures the power pop punk rockers in their element;

live, raw and in the faces of fans. The live performance was captured

at Hollywood's legendary Key Club where they played a list of fan

favorites like ‘Up All Night’, ‘She Says’, ‘Rest of My Life’ and the #1

Top 20 single ‘Seein’ Red’ in front of a sold-out crowd. The DVD was

produced by Devin DeHaven (Busta Ryhmes, Method Man, Papa Roach), and

includes 13 live tracks as well as behind the scenes footage, band

interviews and a special interview where fans submitted questions

through the UNWRITTEN LAW website to have them answered directly by the

band.

"We

really pride ourselves on being a live band," says bassist Pat Kim.

"People listen to the album, but when they come see us live it's a

totally different ball game. This allows fans to see what we do live

with a full production, killer sound and the crowd going insane."

Established

in the mid-1990s, UNWRITTEN LAW has been crafting some of the most

infectious and influential pop-punk of the last decade. After releasing

a series of independent records that saw them relentlessly touring the

country with everyone from 311 to opening for punk legends the Sex

Pistols, UNWRITTEN LAW garnered the mainstream attention they so richly

deserved with the release of their fourth album ‘Elva’. The album sold

in excess of 400,000 copies! In 2003 the group stripped down for an

acoustic live record ‘Music in High Places’, while the group's 2005

release ‘Here's to The Morning’ debuted on the Billboard Charts Top 200

at #51.

No

longer forced to work within the constraints of the major labels,

UNWRITTEN LAW is enjoying their new found freedom as they get ready to

release ‘Live And Lawless’; the first release on independent powerhouse

Suburban Noize Records. This summer UNWRITTEN LAW will enter the studio

to write material for their untitled sixth studio album to be released

in early 2009.

"Being

on an independent label again has lifted a lot of weight off of our

shoulders. We've spent our time on 4 different major labels and when he

had our first Top Single there was all this pressure to repeat it,"

says Kim. “Now with Suburban Noize the vibe is less stressful and they

are just letting us do what we do best, which is write good songs."

thinks they've got Southern California pegged - beautiful girls,

quakes, traffic and sunshine. And for the most part, they're right on

the money, but if you really want to get the So Cal experience, you

gotta get off the hype and get a taste of UNWRITTEN LAW’s good friends,

SPRUNG MONKEY! San Diego locals, SPRUNG MONKEY,

have been hittin' it hard for well over a decade. From the early days

of selling CD's out of their trunk to their breakout success on MTV, SPRUNG MONKEY has

kept true to their sound - melodic, yet crunchy, poppy, yet kick-ass.

Through the years, Sprung have become a staple in the x-treme sports

arena - appearing on the Van's Warped Tour, ESPN's X-Games and

contributing tunes to countless surf, skate and snowboarding films. SPRUNG MONKEY’s biggest

hit, ‘Get ‘Em Outta Here’ became a global alternative anthem! Catch

them as they tour Australia this August alongside UNWRITTEN LAW.
