Down By Law are active and back in the studio, with founder Dave Smalley and longtime members Sam Williams and John Di Mambro along with drummer Jack Criswell, recording a new live studio album that features new renditions of older material.
“We tried to strike a balance between the songs that are considered our hits and songs that maybe got passed over in our catalog,” guitarist Sam Williams says of the song selection. “For instance, ‘DC Guns’ is an incredibly obscure song that’s hard to find, and if you do find it, it’s not well recorded. A lot of the songs have evolved as well since we’ve been honing our chops. We just tried to evenly represent a big span of our career up until this point. We are the band that will never stop. We still love making music together and we’ll keep doing it until we are physically unable.”
Titled Quick Hits: Live in Studio, the album releases Oct. 4 on Kung Fu Records.
