Justify These Scars(J.T.S.)

About Me

J.T.S. are a Hardcore/Punk/Metal/Rock-n-Roll-have fucking fun band from different cities on the east side of Birmingham, Alabama. We are influenced by many types of music from 70's Punk to Metal, Hardcore, Grunge, and Lounge music. Our goal is to have a fucking good time and play fucking good music. We are not into fashion, or fake bullshit. We are who we are and we won't sellout so people in the scene will like us. We want to make going to our shows a blast, like shows use to be. We totally support all local music and indie music venues. If your not trying to improve the local music scene, then don't complain about it. We have some awesome guests on our debut E.P., including Dallas Taylor-Ex-Underoath/current Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, Steve Ouchie, Mike The Fucking Pirate(gang vocals), Shane B. and more!!
We are currently in the studio getting our debut full length cd together. It will be professionaly produced, mastered, and sold in stores as well as online. The art work on the cd will be amazing. The cover will be an original painting by Ex-SAMHAIN ,Ex-DANZIG,and MISFITS crony Mr. EERIE VON!!!!!, FROG will be drawing and painting the rest of the art work. It will consist of 9 to 12 songs, w/ bonus hidden tracks. We have put our best effort into making the cd, and will be patient in finishing it and releasing it. We would like to have it out in one of the cold months, (October would be cool), but may not be possible. Please check back for updates. We are also getting ready and booking for a winter tour, so let us know if you are on the East Coast and want us to come to your city. Our last mini-tour was a blast! We made lots of friends, heard some cool music, and can't wait to get back out.
We would also like to thank everyone who loves and supports our band. We can't remember or list everyone here, cause it would take up to much space, but here is a short list----Shane(Mr.Gore)--Dallas-(awesome)--Blake(Merch & More)--Chase(Brother)--Drew(Future Monster Garage host)--Ryan R.(Mr. Picture) --Cave 9 & Aaron--Eeri Von--Jerry Only--All the guys in Maylene--Zydeco--Sam and The High Note--Our familys and freinds--Jerry(Frog's love and insperation, Love you son)-and everyone else.

Stay Gold J.T.S.
