When you\u2019ve been writing, recording and performing for as long as punk rock veterans Down By Law have, there comes a time when you take stock of the things that have kept you going all these years – the passion, the energy, the creativity, and the sense of being a part of something larger than yourself. With 11 studio albums under their belt, countless international tours, and the acclaim of their peers, Down By Law have been able to fuse all of these elements and more over the course of a tumultuous 3 decade long career, a fact that they celebrate on their brand new single \u201cDenim & Leather\u201d singing \u201cWhen the times get tough, through the highs and lows \/ We stood through the fights and the nights and shows \/ In denim and leather \/ Through the storms and weather \/ We’re scarred for life together.\u201d This is the very essence of the DIY punk rock ethos and a powerful distillation of DBL\u2019s entire career – determination, perseverance, and integrity. \u201cDenim & Leather\u201d is the first single and lead-off track song from their compelling and supercharged 12th studio album,\u00a0Lonely Town<\/em>, which is set to be released in full on February 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is still helmed by the unstoppable Dave Smalley, alongside his longtime partner since 1994 Sam Williams, and together they remain peerless in writing some of the most dynamic and catchy punk rock songs out there. With\u00a0Lonely Town<\/em>, the duo have reached a new peak. As Williams says, \u201cWith some of the grittiest guitars, fastest tempos and most personal lyrics we\u2019ve done in years, this is the quintessential down by law album. We took a little bit of what defines every era of DBL and updated it to coincide with our honed abilities. If you\u2019ve ever liked DBL, I can\u2019t imagine you won\u2019t dig this album. If you\u2019ve never owned one of our releases, this would be the one to start with.\u201d\u00a0Lonely Town<\/em>\u00a0will be available on both CD and in a limited-edition BLACK & WHITE HAZE vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
