Justice – A Cross The Universe
An electronic/dance act performing live is always a tricky thing. Now, once you get that format down it is hard to really capture the moment on the record. It is a little different from a rock band as a lot of a seeing a dance act perform is a lot of the atmosphere and the situation. One of the best live albums I have ever heard was Underworld’s “Everything, Everything.” As anyone who has heard their debut album the band have the songs that will be able to get the people going crazy. “DANCE” “DVNO” and “Tthhee pparrty” in any setting will also get people fired up.
I have never seen Justice live so I can’t really compare the two experiences. It seems that the band live just use it as a live DJ set which, is still cool and nearly impossible to perform these songs live. There were a few songs that come over really well. “Stress” was the first one that really got my attention. The track is a bit frantic but you can hear the crowd during most of the song in the background and that makes you feel like you were in the mix there. Then we had the “We Are Your Friends (Reprise)” which, had a few chants of the “we are your friends” line by the crow before Justice throw down some nice and hard beats.
The live album is a solid effort. I found myself getting very much into this mix. The encore by the band was a great touch. “NY Excuse” is one the new classics that is very underrated in my eyes. I just have a feeling it does not do the band justice(that was unintentional) as you know being their at the gig could not be replicated. It is still better than nothing.

Justice – DVNO
Just when you think you are safe they come back and get you again. “DVNO” is the latest single lifted from the bands world saving album “cross.” The vocalist featured in the song is Mehdi Pinson from the band Scenario Rock. I have been listening to this song for months and have no idea what DVNO really is. But, this song is one hell of a dance floor gem. The lyrics of the song are completely out there but combining it with that huge beat is what makes it so good and irresistible. The best lyrics of the song is ‘No need to ask my name to figure out how cool I am” as that will always get you to crack a smile. The version of the song I looked at for this was the radio edit. It ran at a crisp three minutes and never gave you a moment to breathe. There are plenty of great remixes floating around including one done by the band themselves. The song is anthem and will tearing up the world again this summer.
