   About The Law

Television Satellite

The Chase

Don’t Stop, Believe

Hailing from Dundee, The Law formed initially to write and play songs as a means of venting frustration at girlfriends and bosses. The results – instantly memorable bittersweet stomping songs – show it was well worth the agony. Consisting of Stuart Purvey (vocals), Stevie Anderson (guitar), brothers Martin Donald (drums), and Simon Donald (bass), the band are firm favourites amongst a city finding itself buoyant with rock’n’roll belief and desire.

Early recording sessions produced promising results and a couple of indie single releases in 2007 saw The Law breach the official UK independent charts, gaining them initial recognition with the media. The year ended on a high when the band picked up a prestigious Tartan Clef Music Award for ‘XFM best breakthrough act’.

The Law spent the majority of 2008 writing, recording, mixing, and mastering songs for their debut album. The mainstay of the process were the sessions at renowned Sawmills Studios in Cornwall (the birthplace of Oasis’ Definitely Maybe) with producer Stan Kybert (Paul Weller, Massive Attack).

What has artistically emerged since the band’s inception is that The Law have a refined talent for writing swaggeringly confident tunes with sing-along choruses, classy guitar licks and sublime melodies which get right under the skin. This is clearly demonstrated throughout their debut album ‘A Measure of Wealth’, released 28 September 2009 through the bands own label Local Boy Records (distributed by Absolute via Arvato).

The first two singles taken from the album - ‘Don’t Stop, Believe’ (released 20 July 2009) and a special single edit of ‘The Chase’ (released 14 September 2009) – gained wide spread radio support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, XFM, Clyde, Tay, Northsound, Forth etc. A third single – ‘Television Satellite’ – will be released on 9 November 2009.

Live performances by The Law are high energy, often raucous affairs, drawing crowds in with instantly memorable songs and an electric atmosphere, reminding you just how rock concerts should be: loud, packed and sweaty with anthemic tunes and a strong sense of camaraderie.

The Law have been prolific live headline performers in their native Scotland, and several special guest slots with fellow Dundonians The View on their UK tours have introduced the band to a wider audience, as have appearances with the likes of Air Traffic and The Rascals.

The Law took this year’s T In The Park festival by storm by drawing the biggest crowd of the weekend to the BBC Introducing Stage, where they were introduced by Radio 1 presenter Edith Bowman. Festival organisers were so impressed by their performance that when LadyHawke had to cancel her penultimate headline slot on the Futures stage they immediately approached The Law (who were camping onsite) to take her place which they did with aplomb, delivering a second rocking performance with another great turnout.

With the releases and a confirmed UK tour throughout October and into November which will see the band play venues across Scotland as well as dates in London and Manchester, 2009 certainly looks set to be a key year for The Law.
