12 songs from a name that is new to me although he shares a label with a couple of names which have previously graced the pages of CR (Vigilantes Of Love, Jason And The Gmen). Justin's musical heart is in rock with tunes but he is also happy at times to stray towards a more "alternative" sound. Lyrically, he tries to tell an honest story of the struggles and joys of the Christian life. All but one of the songs are self-penned and you get the feeling that the words are not so much fitted to make a catchy hook as allowed to stand up for themselves with the music fitted around them. For instrumentation it is kept pretty simple with, on the whole, a basic band sound - again (I imagine) in an attempt to avoid swamping the words. Interested?
