Justin Trouble

Justin Trouble was a New York City band that had a mildly successful stint on that city's club circuit (breaking into the legendary Max's Kansas City in the early '80s) and released one unheralded album on the independent Casino label. Songwriter and lead guitarist Justin Trouble had an affinity for '50s rockabilly, but he also merged Clash-derived aggression and power pop hooks and harmonies on a record that, had it been picked up by a major label, might've rested comfortably alongside critic's faves by The dB's and The Shoes. Certainly songs like "Missile" and "Let's Get Together" are as good as any power pop from that era. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
