Just A Band is a electro-house duo (Tom Deluxx & stellA) from Bordeaux, France.
…HEY! Get the hell back here. These guys really aren’t just another shitty Justice-wannabe. I promise.
Honestly, they make some of the most exciting house you’ve heard in a while. Yes, you can hear some slight Justice-aping, but really these are the perfect spring/summer jams to grind on that random person to. Their two main singles (and accompanying EPs) are absolutely epic: “Burn It Out!” is an immediate bombastic freakout with grimy-as-hell synths and massive four-on-the-floor beats, while “We Are …” is less harsh and leaves a lot more space in the mix, but builds up to some impressive electronic washes and warbles while maintaining an adrenaline rush of a backbeat.
As for the B-sides? “Vulgar Display” from Burn It Out! could’ve been a single in its own chaotic right, with flipped and chopped vocals and grandiose kicks that you’ll be feeling in your chest for days. “Aaargh !!” fromWe Are … is… well, you get the idea from the name. They’ve also done some banging remixes for the likes of Acid Jacks, Thieves Like Us, and Alex Gopher.
I don’t normally get all ga-ga and overhype-y over random groups or artists, but I find it criminal that these bros only have about 20-30,000 Last.fm plays and 160,000 or so MySpace plays (at the time of this writing). Their new EP ‘To Hell With Gravity’ comes out on 5/18 courtesy of Home Work Records.
For now, take a listen and enjoy the bangers. Hopefully you’ll dig it as much as I do.
