UNWRITTEN LAW set to return to Oz in March!

Posted on Feb 18, 2011 / Posted by Ann Allen /

California rockers, UNWRITTEN LAW have toured Australia about 5,236 times now and we’re proud to share with you that they are about to make it to tour number 5,237!

UNWRITTEN LAW are set to return to Australia, to showcase SWAN, their sixth studio album due out April 1st, on Shock/Suburban Noize Records.

Scott Russo, had this to say about the new album; ”It took a long time to write this record because we were creating something real in a time when fake, bullshit, phony music rules the airwaves. It seems like artists have forgotten the art of creating an album. Everyone writes one good song and then fills the rest of the album with B-Sides. We spent six months just writing the music and then I spent another eight months writing lyrics. For this album, we had to make sure that every song was a great song and there was zero filler.”

Marred by personal struggles, UNWRITTEN LAW channeled their problems into writing and have crafted one of the most personal rock records of their career. “There was a lot of interpersonal turmoil going on with the band itself and in our personal lives when we were making this album,” recalls UNWRITTEN LAW guitarist Steve Morris.

One such battle came in the form of front man Scott Russo losing his house and possessions in a terrible fire last year. However, the band battled back in the face of adversity to make SWAN and kick-ass songs such as lead single Starships and Apocalypse and Dark Dayz make this record the catchiest UNWRITTEN LAW record yet.

Morris also added, “Looking back on the past few years, UNWRITTEN LAW can’t help but smile. We had taken ourselves and the music from something ugly that no one wanted to be a part of and turned it into something everyone loved and was proud of.”

As long time fans of the ‘Law, the KNOBROCK gang guarantee a simply fabulous show from these guys, so make sure you catch them in a town near you!

COCK ‘n’ BULL

A Quick Update from Annie, at the KR Base-camp…

Greetings from planet KNOBROCK;

It has been a long time coming and not a moment too soon, but Lily and I are chuffed to tell our 14 readers that we are on our way back, we’re refreshed, we’re chill, and we even look rested, thanks to some monetary splurging at the local Botox clinic.

What we are unhappy about revealing is that we are also now orphans, too, but hey, we are made of tougher metal than… say… Warrant.

We’re flying by the seat of our pants for a little while, but stay tuned and we’ll have loads of new crap on our little self-indulgent, rock ‘n’ roll blog in the coming weeks, including the return of KNOBCAST, with Big Daddy Duane, and the “other” J.C. We also have some surprise new videos coming up, so why not subscribe to our youtube channel, too.

Don’t forget you can subscribe via email to KNOBROCK via the website, (which you will be reading this on, so there’s no need for that link), plus stop by our twitter, facebook, but probably not Myspace, because we only really use that page as a ruse for stalking people.

But until then though, rock on like David Essex, work for the weekend like Loverboy and remember; without the rock, we’re all just knobs.
