Maria McKee and Lone Justice - webbew1 - 09-03-2015
First time I heard Lone Justice was at a record store in a mall back in the 80's. Of course, the song was "Shelter", the only thing they ever did which made it on to the radio. Too bad this band didn't take off like they were predicted to. They had a lot of potential. They came in at the very end of the short lived Cow Punk era after bands like Jason and the Scorchers and Soul Asylum milked it for all it was commercially worth.
