Unwritten Law is an American rock band formed in 1990 in Poway, California (a suburb of San Diego) and currently recording for Suburban Noize Records. They have released seven full-length studio albums and have toured internationally, including performances on the Warped Tour. They are notable for their singles \"Seein\' Red\" and \"Save Me (Wake Up Call),\" both of which entered the top 5 in the US Modern Rock charts. Their most recent release is a live album entitled Live and Lawless, released September 30, 2008.
Shortly after the release of Music in High Places founding drummer Wade Youman was ejected from the band due to personal and professional issues. For the recording of their next album Here\'s to the Mourning drummers Adrian Young of No Doubt and Tony Palermo of Pulley joined the band in the studio. The band got along so well with Palermo that by the time of the album\'s release in 2005 he had joined as their permanent drummer. Much of the lyrics on the album were co-written by singer Scott Russo\'s girlfriend Aimee Allen, with whom he formed the side project Scott & Aimee. Allen and Linda Perry contributed to the writing of the album\'s lead single \"Save Me (Wake Up Call),\" which reached #5 on US modern rock charts. This was followed by the single \"She Says.\"
