Rough Justice

[Leykis101]

Anybody heard these guys? appearantly this was recorded back in like 89, and is just getting a proper release, certainly better then many bands who got record deals in these days, the singer reminds me of someone and I cant place who it is? maybe you guys can help me??

Never heard of them, but I like what I hear. Not much on youtube. 

I'm not sure if the second clip is them  or not (I think it might be), but it fucking rocks!

As for who the vocalist sounds like, I guess there's a few really. He's pretty generic, but in a good way.

Sounds good, neve heard of this LA RJ, but there was a Seattle band with the same name spelled a bit different, Ruff Justice from about the same time. The bassist of the Seattle version went on to play in the War Babies.

I think there was also an all canine band called Ruff Justice, I highly enjoyed there style

Yes, I believe Flea was with them for a while.

[Leykis101]

as was Jack Russell

Fun Fact - After they rid themselves of Flea they went on to become "The Poodles".

I don't know if I have a demo of these guys somewhere in the archives, but I've definitely heard that first song before. I don't remember 'SOS' but again it's vaguely familiar. I've definitely not heard 'Future in the sand' but that's a really cool tune. Would love to hear the album that was supposed to be on.

they broke up when we caught them Barking at the moon, so we had to ship them off to Bitch School,

Damn that is pretty good stuff...shame they didn't get a contract as I would have picked up their cds.....

If you have a spare $1500 or so you can get the DDR reissue.

Ironically they did a cover of G&R I Used To Love Her, a very tongue in no cheek joke

I had to really think about it. The vocalist reminds me of Strike Twice.

I had to Wiki the meaning of that song. Nice one. You win.

I have some old MP3’s of these songs. Glad it’s finally get issued on cd.

Funny stuff. Obviously spelling words wrong was a sign of your coolness in the late 80's...
