Upon first glance it would appear that southern California hard rock outfit Unwritten Law had it all in 2002. The group was reaping the benefits of having a #1 hit on modern rock radio with Seeing Red , their album Elva was making its way toward gold sales status, and shows were selling out across the country. However, Unwritten Law had rapidly deteriorated into an abyss of self-destructing behavior that rivaled the drug use and hedonism of the 80 s Sunset strip music scene. One studio album later and the band went on hiatus to get their lives together. With demons and personal tragedies behind them, Swan sees the band releasing their first studio album in 6 years. It s filled with the pop and punk classics their fans have been waiting for.
