Down By Law have signed with Union 2112 Records of the The Union Label Group. The Montreal label will distribute the band's yet untitled new album in Canada and the United States. The band will be in a Tampa studio starting December 7 and is predicting a March or April release (the label told me May was a possibility too). This is not the first time frontman Dave Smalley has worked with the Union, having produced the latest album by francophone punk band (and new label-mates) Penelope.
