Lay Down the Law is the debut album by American rock band Keel. It was the only album to feature original drummer Bobby Marks. Also, three songs – "Speed Demon", "Tonight You're Mine", and the Rolling Stones cover "Let's Spend the Night Together" – were re-recorded for their next album The Right to Rock, although the version of "Let's Spend The Night Together" on this album ends with reprises of earlier album tracks, while "Tonight You're Mine" was re-recorded as "You're the Victim (I'm the Crime)" with altered lyrics.
The album was released in November 1984 by Shrapnel Records to rave reviews, despite the band signing to Gold Mountain Records a few months prior. It was not released on CD format until 2008.
