小简介

流行摇滚劲旅Unwritten Law/不成文法合唱团,九○年代中期成军於南加州终年阳光灿烂的圣地牙哥,他们纯粹的加州庞克摇滚乐风充满热情与活力、词曲创作流畅悦耳而言之有物。睽违三年,Unwritten Law终於推出集合诱人旋律、原始真挚情感与古埃及神秘主义的第四张大碟《Elva/艾娃》。早美国一步先於澳洲推出的《Elva》,发行首周即雷霆空降澳洲另类专辑榜冠军；新辑歌词部分流露出深刻的内省与智慧,而音乐则交叉呈现了和谐、狂暴与精湛的技艺。性格主唱Scott Russo驾驭嗓音的功力一流,时而粗犷沙哑、时而哀伤内敛,抒情时如香草霜淇淋般柔润,狂野时又可以尽情放声嘶吼,在其他团员用吉他、鼓击与贝斯建构的乐海里恣意悠游。

by John BushMore of a power pop band than anything else, though theyre nestled in Southern Californias skate/snowboard punk scene, Unwritten Law formed early in the 1990s, with drummer Wade Youman the only holdover from the bands early days. The group eventually coalesced around vocalist Scott Russo, guitarists Rob Brewer and Steve Morris, bassist John Bell, and Youman.After releasing their debut, Blue Room, on an independent label, Unwritten Law toured America several times but grew disgusted by the lack of distribution of their records. The quartet eventually signed to Epic, which re-released Blue Room and in 1996 issued their second album, Oz Factor. The group jumped labels yet again in 1997, to Interscope, and recorded their third album, the self-titled black album, in 1998. Just before its release in June of that year, Bell left and was replaced by Sprung Monkeys Pat Kim. The album spawned a few semi-hits among the skate crowd like Lonesome and Cailin. Three years later, the band issued their fourth full-length, Elva, in early 2002. Debut single Seein Red was a hit among TRL and mainstream radio.Before the year came to a close, Unwritten Law inked a major deal with Lava Records. The largely acoustic Music in High Places followed in early 2003. Recorded on location at Yellowstone National Park, the album was part of MTVs Music from High Places series, a sort of National Geographic Explorer for the Warped Tour set. While the band started recording their fifth studio effort in 2004, Tony Palermo (Pulley, the Jealous Sound) replaced Wade Youman on drums. The Sean Beavan-produced Heres to the Mourning followed in February 2005, which did reasonably well, mostly due to the single Save Me. Brewer was kicked out of the band during a subsequent tour with Sum 41, apparently due to volatile circumstances between him and the rest of the group, and they decided to continue on as a four-piece instead of replacing him. Unwritten Laws installment for the 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series was issued in fall 2006 by one of their old labels, Interscope, a suspect move considering the band was due to release their own greatest-hits compilation, The Hit List (which included various re-recordings and a new song), in early January 2007.
