the room, his eyes actually follow you! I'm not kidding...try it."

re-record this?"

"The judge's gavel...is that symbolic, as if to say that judgment is coming down
on us all?"
JennyHighHeels, Portland, OR
"Yeah, Jenny, Judgment Day is coming so you better be good. If that's even
possible for you! LOL"
HawkMan, Seattle, WA
"Ha,ha, very funny, HawkMan. But seriously, I always felt like the guys were
trying to warn us about something. At the beginning of Ladies Gonna Rock, you
can hear the wind blowing like a storm is on the way."
JennyHighHeels, Portland, OR
"Wrong Side of Town was sure a warning! Ever since I heard that song, I never go
out in the city alone late at night anymore."
ThunderGirl, Los Angeles, CA
"The band's name - Just Authority - always made me think of a judge, and about
getting busted and going to court. Not fun things, but at least when I was
in court, it sort of felt like I had a presence there with me."

Their hit single has been newly remastered!
"Ladies Gonna Rock" by Just Authority
Members of Just Authority in their heyday.
(L-R: Steve Gunn, Todd Shriver, Craig Shuey, J. Michael Rockwell)
This influential hard rock band dominated the L.A. club scene in the early 1990's.
Crystal clear rock vocals from Todd Shriver branded this as the "must-see"
attraction on Sunset Boulevard. Backed up by steady-handed Steve Gunn
on drums, hard-driving bass lines by Craig Shuey, and excellent guitar work by
J. Michael Rockwell, Just Authority was the new kid in town.
Powerhouse Todd Shriver never missed a note, painting pictures with his stadium-rock voice in a way that had not been done before or since.
Just Authority ushered in a flood of imitators. But none matched them in style, class or artistic integrity. Their influence was like a tatoo on the arm of Rock and Roll...never to fade away. Rock on, Just Authority, rock on!
