With Justice touring the UK this week, and European dates following, I thought it a reasonable excuse to show their most recent video On and On 'n' On.
I've made no secret of their last album being my favourite of the last year, and it certainly bears repeated listening.
This track is, for me at least, as close to Led Zeppelin as it is to any contemporary dance genre. There's even a flute solo, reminiscent of the way Zep would counterbalance their heavy rock swaggerstomp with a touch of pastoral wistfulness
I could easily imagine Robert Plant's vocals on this track.
Justice have pushed the boundaries with the Audio Video Disco album, essentially positioning themselves as a rock band that just happens to use the palette of the electro dance genre.
Remixes on On 'n' On have been released including versions by Rick Rubin, Tiga, Erol Alkan, Brodinski and Video Village.
Justice play Bristol on February 9, London on February 10, Birmingham on February 11, Glasgow on Sunday February 12 and Manchester on February 13.
They have also been confirmed as the headliners for the Rock Ness festival in Scotland in June, as well as the Vielles Charrues festival in France July and the Bestival event in the UK September.
