No Justice was an American youth crew and hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C. Active from 1998 to 2000, the group became known within the underground music scene for their high-energy, volatile live performances, spearheaded by frontman Timmy Greene.[1]
History
editNo Justice was formed by guitarist Steve Clark (who later played in 86 Mentality) and vocalist Timmy Greene with the goal of bringing wild energy back to the local scene. Greene had just moved to Washington D.C., and both he and Clark felt the different punk and hardcore factions in the city were too divided. They made it their mission to bridge the gap between these separate groups and unite the scene to make live shows more interesting. Instead of focusing on band merchandise or aesthetics, the two prioritized building a community.
In 2000, No Justice released their definitive 7-inch extended play, Still Fighting, through Underestimated Records. The release featured six tracks:
- "Political Scheme"
- "Throw It Away"
- "Confused And Betrayed"
- "Everything Falls Apart"
- "Failed"
- "Still Fighting"
In August 2000, the band embarked on a tour across the Midwest, East Coast, and Texas, before driving out to California to perform on several regional dates, concluding with two final performances in San Francisco.
The band performed their final show in December 2000. The performance became notorious within the local underground music scene for its chaotic atmosphere, intense moshing, and crowd participation. During the set, vocalist Timmy Greene repeatedly stage-dived into the audience and at multiple points he threw a cymbal stand from the drum kit into the crowd. The performance was temporarily stopped during the opening track, "Political Scheme," after Greene jumped directly onto the drum kit, knocking the hardware over and forcing a pause so the setup could be restored.
Musical style and influence
editNo Justice played a fast, aggressive style of hardcore punk heavily rooted in the straight edge youth crew subgenre.[1] Emerging in the late 1990s, the band's traditional, high-velocity sound represented a local reaction against the dominant experimental post-hardcore of the era. Their musical approach shared stylistic ties with regional contemporaries like Crispus Attucks and laid the sonic groundwork for the fast hardcore, powerviolence, and grindcore bands that proliferated throughout the Washington, D.C. and Maryland underground scene in the early-to-mid 2000s, such as Coke Bust and Magrudergrind.
