| THE SUN - UNWRITTEN LAW A brilliant band bursts forth upon the day. Unwritten Law triumphs over convention and mediocrity with their new album combining intricate melodies, raw edged sincerity and ancient Egyptian mysticism. The lyrics are empowering with their wisdom and introspection and the music is overwhelming with its harmony, ferocity and virtuosity. Beneath the sun dance rainbows of rhapsody and expression. The gray clouds of playing endless parties in open Poway fields with generators for power only to be busted by the cops are dispersing and sinking lower in the sky. A blue star appears on the left cheek of the sun, signifying the abandoned house where vocalist Scott used to live called the Blue Room. The walls there were painted blue and all the doors were nailed shut so you had to climb in through the windows. | ||||||||||||||||
| It was here that Scott joined the band 7 years ago after singing Fugazi's "Waiting Room" when the original singer never showed up that night. The five lower rays of the sun are flexible, evidencing the range of freedom the quintet has in expressing itself on this new and diverse album that shows their punk roots along with their unlimited horizons. "We didn't want to follow any guidelines, we just made music we wanted to hear," explains Scott. "We felt that if we made music we were happy with ourselves, other people would like it. People call us punk, but it's really just '90s rock 'n' roll." | ||||||||||||||||
