Strange Mono is extremely excited to announce the release of the first of our "Unsung Gems" series featuring The Justice League of America

Strange Mono is extremely excited to announce the release of the first of our 'Unsung Gems' series featuring The Justice League of America. The JLA were active from 1979-1983 in Bergen County NJ and NYC. These 14 tracks, artfully restored and remastered by Chris Lawson-Allen, offer listeners a chance to connect with one of NJ's totally unknown, totally worthy rock bands.

All proceeds benefit Doctors Without Borders.

Overspilling with talent and energy, the songwriting speaks for itself, from the crunchy Kinks-esque 'Can't Stop Love' and 'Settled Sons'' to the powerpop guitar licks of 'Palisades Park' and the melancholy political sentiment of 'Madman'. Though the styles may shift from Blues Rock to New Wave and Powerpop, the sincerity of songwriting can be heard throughout. We hope to bring these unknown 80's rockers out of obscurity and into a new generation of listeners that desperately need them!

'They were already a band when I found their ad for a drummer in the Aquarian (which was the local music scene magazine in the tri-state area). We played a lot of places once,' says drummer Geno Timlin on the band's formation. 'Influences were all over the place for the four of us. We all like rock and roll and the old bluesmen. I think the old bio explains us pretty well. We were just having fun.'
