This was the first of two albums from Justus. Justice were brothers Rod and Kevin Pahl and Donny Hackett.
Other than that I know very little about the band. The album was on Tunesmith records and to the best of my knowledge only released in Canada.
The album is a new wave rock mix and is very good. The band was tight and the production quality is quite high which is surprising as Tunesmith was not really known for having high quality production.
Note: although I always had thought that “Justus” was just a play on the words “Just Us” there’s more to it. It’s a reference to a person named “Jesus Justus” who the Apostle Paul gives a shoutout to in the greeting section of his letter to the Colossians.
