NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2002

Veteran rockers Unwritten Law have inked a multi-album recording contract with Lava Records, home of Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, Porcupine Tree, Trans Siberian Orchestra and Simple Plan. The band will release Music In High Places, an album recorded in Wyoming at Yellowstone National Park, in conjunction with the MTV program of the same name. The album will be released on Lava Records January 21, 2003.

Music In High Places features 11 stripped-down, re-worked tracks, culled from the band's catalog. The disc is both a creative and surprising tribute to the band's musicianship, songwriting and punk/pop success. While recording the album, the band experienced challenges far beyond the traditional recording process. Each track was given a life of its own--some songs were recorded at the edge of a geyser, others feature traditional Native American drummers and vocalists. Overall, the disc captures poetry and lyricism that's not immediately evident on the earlier album versions of the tracks.

Unwritten Law formed in the early 1990's and scored a chart-topping #1 single with "Seein' Red" earlier this year.
