What's important is this - when punk rock broke and bands cashed in on fashion trends, Down By Law stayed true to its ideals. While everyone else played The Forbidden Beat and wrote songs about farts, Dave Smalley was penning songs about feeling lonely and out of place, afraid and uncertain.
He wrote about finding strength in being apart from the larger culture, and turning the loneliness and alienation of individuals into unity and mutual respect. It's clear that Down By Law is the only real claimant to The Clash's legacy, and that legacy is the admission that we may be isolated and lonely, we may be alienated and fucked up, but revolution can only begin in the mirror. We have to change ourselves before we can change the social structures that oppress us.
DBL celebrates their 23rd year with a new studio album of soon to be punk anthems for the next generation. “Champions at Heart†is their 9th full length release, and reminiscent of their classics on Epitaph Records.
