Justus League
by Tim Wenger
Colorado Springs’ Justus League is more proof that blues never dies- it just gets passed down from generation to generation. The group incorporates influences from many styles on their recent debut album, released independently. Their album is many things. Blues, but so much more- there is a danceable, funky element present in songs like “Remember” and “Fro.” Pop rhythms stand out on “Unspoken” and reggae on “New Sheriff,” but the blues element always reigns tall and proud.
A solid listen from start to finish, Justus League has bucked the current trend of disenfranchised albums. The listener won’t want to skip tracks or jump around. They manage to hold attention throughout the record and, through deep lyrics and well-played rhythms, keep the head bobbing the entire time.
