Released in 1994, the year that punk surfaced from the underground with the new-found success of bands such as the Offspring and Green Day, Punkrockacademyfightsong is Down By Law's most accomplished record. Fast, emotional, pop, punk---this record is the best of what Down By Law can be, and, at a time when the pop/punk formula was being concocted, DBL broke the rules by covering the Proclaimers folksong hit, "500 Miles."
