Due to unforeseen circumstances, Southern Californian punk band Unwritten Law will be postponing the Australian leg of their album tour. Their 17-date tour for ‘The Hum’ was their largest AU tour organised to date, and will unfortunately be rescheduled to later in the year.
The band have issued the following statement:
“Australia, it breaks our hearts to announce that we must postpone our current AU tour. We want you all to know that you mean the world to us and that we wouldn’t have made this decision unless it was absolutely necessary. Since we all took a global break from touring, things just aren’t the same as they were and we are not in a position to continue the tour as planned.
We are working tirelessly to reschedule dates and make sure we return with everything you deserve. Ticket holders will be notified via email with instructions soon. Your existing tickets will be valid for the new dates, however, refunds will also be available. We will continue to update you on the situation as things develop. Please stay with us, we owe you everything.
Love,
Scott, Chris, Jonny, Wade, Scotty and Mickey.”
Fans are advised to hold onto tickets for the rescheduled dates, or if they are cannot attend the new dates they will be able to get a refund at the point of purchase.

“Hey, Australia! Since this is the longest break we’ve had from our favourite place to tour and we’ve got a brand new record to share with you, we’re beyond excited to present to you: The Hum Tour,” said guitarist and vocalist Chris Lewis. “Not only will we be giving you different set lists every night, we’ll be unveiling songs off our newest album, The Hum, some for the first time ever! We’re playing quite a few shows, so we’re gonna make sure there are unique surprises every night. We can’t wait to see you all out there,” said Lewis.
Hear some of the hits that defined the ’90s Cali punk scene such as ‘Seein’ Red’, ‘Save Me’, ‘Up All Night’, and ‘Cailin’ as well as their new material from The Hum. Their first album in over a decade, The Hum is a concept album divided into the four phases of the waxing and waning of the moon. It sees a return to form for the veteran punk outfit, exploring themes of truth and beauty, reality and fantasy. It was released in 2022 with a short film to accompany their singles ‘Magnetic’ and ‘The Hum’. The short film features Tyler Posey and Tehya Elam as they enter an alternate reality called The Hum, eventually becoming enamoured with the fantasy world and refusing to return to reality.
“It almost feels like a new band,” said long-time singer Scott Russo. “We were supposed to hand the record in the month the pandemic hit and it just wasn’t there. The label was like, we don’t want to put it out until you can tour so we took an extra year to make sure we had it, and we did.” The record presents a movement away from their heavier punk roots, and explores a mellower, more mature sound. The Hum was produced by Joe Marlett who gained acclaim working with Blink-182 and Queens of the Stone Age.
Formed in 1989 in Poway, California, Unwritten Law were pioneers of the SoCal punk scene, and have undergone a series of lineup changes over the past few years.
The current lineup has been together for 14 years, with Scott Russo on vocals and guitar, Wade Youman on drums, Jonny Grill on bass, and Chris Lewis and Scott McLaughlin on guitar and vocals.
Now Australia should prepare to be shown the Cali sky.
