No Justice-2nd Avenue Album Review

On July 6, Alt- country musical band No Justice released their Carved Records' debut album release 2^nd Avenue. Known previously for his work with Collective Soul, Dexter Green contributed to the production behind No Justice's latest album. Similar to Cross Canadian Ragweed, the album features an eclectic mix of Rock and Country tunes. Recommended tracks on 2^nd Avenue include the popular current single "Love Song", the ballad "Gone Ain't Far Enough", and the up-tempo track "2^nd Avenue".

With lyrics displaying sentimental thoughts of love and second chances such as,"...How about one more dance/a second chance/to ease my mind", the current hit "Love Song" has received extensive radio airplay throughout Texas, broadcasting on 75 stations across the state . The single continues to climb towards the top of the charts, currently holding the #12 spot on the Texas Music Chart. "Love Song" marks the third single released by No Justice to be featured on the Texas Music Chart. No Justice's previous tracks "Never Come Back" and "Don't Walk Away" were also featured on the Texas Music Chart.

The power-ballad "Gone Ain't Far Enough" displays feelings of a distant love, with lyrics such as, "...Gone Ain't Far Enough/Cause' I still feel your touch/2,000 miles and I still got you under my skin/Baby, I thought you set me free/but you're still here with me.../" The track features a slow rhythmic guitar melody to provide sentimental and deep romantic feelings endured by the narrator of the song.

The up-tempo track "2^nd Avenue" represents a strong songwriting talent from the band as they reminisce on their beginning musical roots with hidden meaning in their lyrics, "...I look through the streets in the rain/every seat on the train for your face/In the windows above all the places where I'm not a trace/Take me back to 2^nd Avenue.../" After having 2 #1 singles on the Texas Music Chart and 7 independent top 10 hits, No Justice continued to showcase their independence as a band. Since releasing 3 previous independent albums, No Justice have grown professionally as a result of performing and recording.
