Punkrockacademyfightsong is the third album by American punk rock band Down by Law, released in 1994.[1][2] It contains a cover of the Proclaimers' hit song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)".[3] Singer Dave Smalley considered it the band's best known album.[4]
Production
The album was produced by Michael Douglass.[5] It was recorded at A&M Studios, in Hollywood, California.[6][5] Down by Law was in the studio at the same time as the Rolling Stones; the Stones allegedly complained about the volume of the band's punk rock.[5]
Critical reception
Template:Music ratings The Chicago Reader labeled the album "punk as pabulum," and considered the band an "alternative-rock Raffi."[7] The Las Vegas Review-Journal deemed it "19 terse, incisive tunes that epitomize the California sound."[8] The Boston Herald opined: "Fast and loud, yet marvelously melodic, Down By Law takes punk to a new level and proves it can be more than just angry noise."[9]
AllMusic called the album "a solid, polished album of raw punk rock."[10]
