A HISTORY:
The band JustifY started back in 2006, growing from Lars's Dad's
garage band in Westfield, Massachusetts. The start of their career was a
tough one - one where they had to bribe their way to get concerts. Even
then, the locations weren't brilliant; their neighbor's garden just
down the road, a bar which they had only seen once, and a park. They
started calling themselves Justice until later, when they changed their
name to JustifY. No-one has a real idea on why they are called this, but
rumor has it that they had the name to show how they feel neglected in
the POM World. In the band's early years, Justify was going through
tough times, they were be criticized by their "unorthodox" style of
making music. The band fell into a deep depression for a while wondering
when (or if) they would become a METAL GOD like they wanted to.
In the mean time, the band started going to other band's concerts to get some ideas on new songs and maybe an album. They started with some minor bands at the time: Concrete, Powerstars and The Guns. After a while, they realized that these bands didn't really go with their style, but still admitting that it was good stuff. So they decided to move to POM City, with James saying, "POM Town isn't really us. We want big. We want HUGE. We want big stuff. That's us." So away they went, borrowing Lars' Dad's car as they didn't have any transport, apart from the POM Train - but that was a rip off. So they left POM Town behind them.
On arrival at the "Big City", a term which a long time friend of the band (Reg from Reach) once said, they immediately set themselves up in a small apartment. Soon, their loud heavy metal - a genre they've always loved - awoke a man from next door one night. The man, who happened to be in a band himself, said he loved the music and wondered if they could meet up soon, saying he would bring a couple of his mates along with him. And so, a couple of weeks later, they met at a local bar (Vana's) and discussed music, life and stuff in general. Then Raegan (member of Reach) suggested they work on a couple of songs together. All the members of each band agreed whole heartily.

This was the start to Justify & Reach's relationship!
However, Reach were not the first band to personally know Justify. 5
days before, they had been chatting to a label company for a possible
sign when four metal-looking men stepped into the building. Silence.
Every person looked around. People started muttering and someone
whispered into Robert's ear, "It's Justify; They're one of the best
know bands around these parts." Only then did they recognize who it was.
In the band's college days, they had met the "Big Four": James, Kirk, Rob and Lars. They struck up a strong friendship but went their
separate ways after College. But now a days, they've been talking
about possible collabs together.
Nowadays, Justify is signed onto Cookies and Biscuits with 4 albums released there. They hope to be making future collabs with Reach and some songs of their own. They say it will be awesome! Also, they've got two major tours upcoming with Reach. Overall, Justify are Justify... AND JUST JUSTIFY!!!
