Some songs are very Jam influenced, and some of the drum flourishes are very Who-esque. Dave is pictured on a scooter on the back cover, so I guess this shouldn&#8217;t surprise. Anyways, if all you want is hardcore, then this isn&#8217;t for you, but if you like smart power-pop with some punk chops, then you&#8217;ll like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Down By Law: Fly the Flag Label: Go-Kart Release Date:1999 Review Date: 2000 Down by Law have been around for a long time, and their sound has really matured.
