Done Lying Down were a British-American rock band who tore through the mid-'90s with a live show so ferocious it won them raves in the British music press and a small army of devoted fans. The mix was the point: singer and guitarist Jeremy Parker brought an American way of singing, and the rest of the band, including Ali Mac on bass and James Sherry on drums, brought their British punk roots.
Parker took the band's name from his previous group in Boston. The press filed them under new wave of new wave and punk, and "Just a Misdemeanour" shows why: wiry guitars, a jittery, full-tilt rhythm section and a vocal that sounds like it's being shouted from the lip of the stage.
