Justice League formed in the summer of 1983 in the California skateboard region known as The Badlands. Inspired by early hardcore bands like Minor Threat, SS Decontrol, and America’s Hardcore, the band developed a direct straight-edge sound with a positive message and youthful energy.
While many early straight-edge and hardcore bands were breaking up or changing direction, Justice League stayed active and helped keep the West Coast straight-edge movement alive. The band played shows with many later-recognized hardcore and punk bands, including Ill Repute, Necros, Cause For Alarm, Die Kreuzen, Agnostic Front, 45 Grave, Agent Orange, DRI, 7 Seconds, Battalion Of Saints, and Social Distortion.
This release collects the six songs from the debut EP “Think Or Sink,” two compilation tracks, and previously unreleased live recordings. The songs capture Justice League’s raw energy, idealism, and straight-edge message during their early years.
