Unwritten Law inhabits the upper echelon of successful punk bands, bands whose substance and longevity overshadow the countless hordes of imitation, fly-by-night pop-punk operations riding a one-way train to anonymity. In a musical climate where audiences write off and forget hundreds of bands who lack a smidgen of ingenuity, Unwritten Law repeatedly proves that its music connects with, attracts, and inspires loyalty in an ever-growing legion of fans worldwide.
The San Diego-based band's legacy continues with its sixth release, the upcoming album titled Here's To The Mourning, which will be released on Lava Records in early 2005. The band made an effort this time around to compose music that flowed from beginning to end. "We felt like each of our records have been written and played really well, but they haven't been that cohesive as a piece from front to back," comments Scott Russo, the bands lead singer. "This time, we're really making sure that all the songs are fused together, so it stands as one piece of music, with a really defined sound as well." Guitarist Steve Morris adds "[This record was] something that was fresh and fun for us."
