UNION-MADE POST PUNK FOR THE FUNCTIONING APOCALYPSE

Local Bylaws is a post-punk four-piece from San Francisco. Against the bleak and lonely landscape of February 2021, they met online looking for kindred spirits and creative outlets. As it turned out, they were all raised on similar pop-punk, ska, and alternative music, from Rancid, No Doubt, and NOFX, to Weezer, the Toadies, and Blink-182. And outside of music, they had something else in common: they were all union workers (in IBEW, the electricians' union, SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union, and UBC, the carpenters' union)...hence the name, Local Bylaws.

In April 2022, they released their first EP, Working Agreement, and will be in the studio soon to record a full-length album.
