The Justus Trio (Sunshine Coast) take flight with their new Self-Titled EP, available everywhere music is streamed or sold July 12th 2024. John Justus, born in Tasmania and raised in America, explores heart break, self-doubt, existentialism, and grit with these songs and the new band (Bailey Walker and Caleb Reno) deliver a solid foundation. Written between the end of 2020 and beginning of 2023, this set of 6 autobiographies broadcasts a determination to find meaning in the post-post modern world and, despite the heaviness that accompanies life in 2024, keep moving forward.

But what does it sound like?

Fans of artists like Jimmy Eat World, Manchester Orchestra, Switchfoot, The Fray, and OneRepublic will find plenty to enjoy on this “Sunshine Rock’n’Roll” outing by The Justus Trio.

Sonically, the record finds the new Trio expanding upon John's prior acoustic offerings with electric guitars, bass, and drums as the backbone, a healthy dose of vocal harmony layers and Bailey’s (Drummer/vocalist/engineer/mixing engineer/band PR) production skills to finish it off. “The Justus Trio” Self-Titled is a hybrid of the live sound the band is known for and a slick, studio production; Caleb Reno’s bass-lines feel effortless, driving the songs and providing countermelodies aplenty, and Bailey’s drumming gives a new energy to the whole project, keeping the songs tight and pacey.
