TEXAS MUSIC CHART TOPPERS NO JUSTICE
LIVIN’ LARGE AND “LIVE” WITH CURRENT RELEASE!
BAND SET TO RECORD BRAND NEW STUDIO RECORD IN WINTER
2008!
Nashville-June 15, 2008-When you are a band responsible for
three record releases spawning a handful of hits on the Texas
Music Chart and are on the road religiously doing 200 plus shows a
year, it is difficult to block away time to record your next much-
anticipated studio release. But with pleading eyes from a solid and
loyal fan base Oklahoma natives NO JUSTICE will be back in the
studio this winter to record their early 2009 release. In the mean
time, hits from their two previous studio releases like "The Toast,"
“Red Dress,” “Bend But Don’t Break,” “Never Come Back” and
“Horseshoe Lake” has made NO JUSTICE a permanent fixture on
the Texas Music Chart’s Top 10 since 2005, and are featured on the
band’s current 2007 release LIVE AT BILLY BOB’S. Falling right in
line with their charting track record, the first single release,
“Horseshoe Lake,” went to #3 on the chart and remained on the
Top 10 for 25 weeks. The second single “Spinning Wheel” has just
been released and is at radio now! “It’s more like an award than a
live record,” quips lead vocalist Steve Rice. This, of course, is quite
understandable when you consider your LIVE AT cohorts including
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, David Allan Coe, Asleep At The
Wheel, Roy Clark, Jack Ingram, Pat Green, Kevin Fowler and the
Randy Rogers Band…just to name a few.
As it is with any good organic creation, there is an aging process
that needs to occur in order to harvest the perfect blend. The band
formed in 2001 and in 2003 celebrated their debut release FAR
FROM EVERYTHING, which garnered them a Texas sized
introduction with their first single “24 Days.” The second single,
“The Toast,” hit the Texas Music Chart’s Top 10 and was also one
of the Top 15 most requested songs in 2005. The band’s self-titled
sophomore release (2006) gave the band their first sweet taste of
#1 with “Never Come Back,” which remained at the #1 position for 6
straight weeks. Amidst their growing success with two well-
received releases the band welcomed newcomer Joey Trevino on
bass in 2007, completing the solid lineup and adding a rich timbre
in third part harmony. “He is a jack of all trades; plays anything with
strings on it,” explains Rice. “We found our group. We found our
sound and direction. We are more focused than we have ever
been.”
Focused and armed to the teeth with an artillery of tour dates, NO
JUSTICE has spent 2008 around the South and Midwest at some of
the most prominent events including Larry Joe Taylor’s Music
Festival, Robert Earl Keen's Texas Uprising, Cross Canadian
Ragweed’s Family Jam, College Days (College Station),
Tumbleweed's Annual Calf Fry (Stillwater), and the band’s own
upcoming 9th Annual Dwight Boeckman Music Festival on July 26th
in Okeene, Oklahoma. The event is held every year in honor of
Dwight Boeckman, a personal friend of the band’s who in July 2000
at just 22 years old suffered a spinal cord injury in a diving accident,
which resulted in paralysis from the chest down. The festival was
originally created to help Dwight and his family with medical
expenses, but by 2005 had surpassed Dwight’s needs and thus
shifted its focus towards helping others. Now benefiting The
Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, the festival is an all-day,
all-ages event featuring performances by Johnny Cooper, Bart
Crow, Mama Sweet, the Red Dirt Rangers, Clint Osmus and the
Bushmills and, of course, a grand finale by NO JUSTICE. Visit http:
//www.dbmusicfest.com/ for show times, ticket price or more
information. The band is also gearing up for their upcoming tour
with the Bart Crow Band in September.
NO JUSTICE includes Steve Rice on lead vocals/acoustic guitar,
Brandon Jackson on vocals/rhythm guitar, Jerry Payne on lead
guitar, Joey Trevino on bass and Armando Lopez on drums. The
band has shared stages across the greater Midwest with artists
such as Robert Earl Keen, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Robison, Billy
Joe Shaver, Willie Nelson, Derailer’s, David Allen Coe, Black
Crowes, Chris Knight, Pat Green, Cory Morrow, Jack Ingram,
Cooder Graw, Gary Allan, Hank Jr., Jason Boland and the
Stragglers, Shooter Jennings and Chris LeDoux. An intoxicating
mix of country, rock, R&B, funk (and whatever else one can throw in
the mix), puts NO JUSTICE in a league of their own and the
harmony driven melodies leaves fans waiting with bated breath for
their upcoming 2009 studio release! Visit www.NoJustice.com or
