Rough Justice is one of these unknown US bands of the late 80s that never managed to reach a wider audience. Maybe the reason is that they were too hard rock-ish/ melodic to be called a power metal band and at the same time too heavy to be characterised as a typical hard rock/AOR group. A lot of diversity here, ”Send Down Angels” is a pure melodic metal song that sticks to your mind with an AOR-ish intro, ”Slide Down On Your Knees” is a hard rock tune, ”The Choice” is a heavy metal balllad, ”S.H.E.” is a traditional heavy metal song with light keys on the background while the rest of the songs balance between hard rock and heavy metal. I know of at least one 3-track demo with 2 songs to be also included in this demo.
