The Band
JUSTICE came about a number of years ago as the result of a collaboration between scene veterans Scott Guptill, Scott Belisle (Guptill and Belisle had worked together previously in the well-known band Fractured) and Chris Fleury. With the addition of Todd Dunn on lead guitar and Mike Fredette on drums, the guys have embarked on a mission to bring you one of the best dance rock shows in Northern Vermont. In February of 2012 Fleury decided to depart the band and pursue other interests. Gary Greeno (fomerly of Cylinder and Ambush fame) has assumed the role of lead vocals and keyboards.
JUSTICE is fronted by vocalist Gary Greeno. Gary grew up in St. Albans Vt. With more than 20 years on the band scene, he has fronted for the likes of High Society, No Greater Sin, Cylinder and most recently Ambush. With a history of knowing how to bring a crowd alive, he now comes to front for JUSTICE. Through the years he has had the pleasure of working with, and meeting some great people in the music industry such as the rock bands April Wine and The J. Giles Band. Influenced by a wide range of artists and music styles through the years, molding his voice has become natural. A man of many talents in music that include guitar, piano/keyboards, drums and harmonica. When he’s not focused on music, he enjoys sports, computers, motorcycles and of course spending time with friends and loved ones. Finding a home in JUSTICE was a perfect match for his vision of the music future, and where he is heading…Enjoy the ride!!!
Scott Guptill has been playing guitar in bands in and around the Franklin County area of Vermont for the better part of 15 years. He was influenced early on in the 70’s with the bands KISS and Iron Maiden. Growing up in the hair band era helped mold his playing style and musical taste into what it is today. Judas Priest, Ozzy, Van Halen, Ratt, Metallica, Def Leppard & Quiet Riot played a huge roll throughout the years of his playing. He has played in talented local bands such as Bad Horsey, Furyous George, Fractured and Damage Control, to name a few. Scott feels he has reached a point in his musical life where it is time to take no prisoners, grab the audience by the balls and play the music “they” want to hear and party to. “It is time to bring back the live entertainment scene to what it was back in the 80’s & 90’s”. Scott plays Gibson guitars; mostly Les Paul’s and uses a Line 6 POD for his sound.
Bassist and vocalist Scott Belisle is a true 80’s rock player with influences by bands such as Motley Crue, Alter Bridge, Van Halen and Def Leppard to name a few. Prior to co-founding JUSTICE Scott had worked with local and national acts such as 8084, Fractured, Tantrum and Damage Control.
Guitarist Todd Dunn spent most of the 80’s deeply rooted in the central Vermont music scene before moving on to the Burlington alt/hardcore scene for most of the 90′s. Todd had the good fortune to join his first original band as bassist for alt-rock Burlington-scene legends Peg Tassey and Proud of It in 1992. From there he would move on to play lead guitar for Burlington’s Chin HO! before ultimately starting his own band that better fit his vision-that band would later become Five Seconds Expired. With Five Seconds Expired, Todd toured the east coast for several years, regularly working with the defining bands of the 90’s hardcore movement such as Fear Factory, Downset, Biohazard, Marilyn Manson, Powerman 5000 and 3-1-1. The band released their independent label debut CD “Null” with Another Planet Records in 1994, receiving international acclaim and charting in College Media Journals Top 10 standard playlist on it’s release.
Drummer Mike Fredette was born with sticks in his hands. It was his destiny to bring the world together with heavy beats and rythmic thunder. Through the years of playing in basement and garage bands in his high school years in St. Albans, he stumbled his way to Burlington where he was invited into the metal band Scoundrels in the late 90′s. After a fuzzy, but fairly successful run with Scoundrels, he took some time off. He later joined forces with some of his best friends from his home town to form the metal/hardcore crossover band Torsion. Torsion tore up the local and northern New England scene incorporating a DJ into their already staggering sound. They drew masses and fired up crowds for national acts at local venues. After another break, Mike joined up with old Scoundrels guitarist Eric Czado to form what would end up being the power trio known to many blue collar working class drunks as, Tired of Trying. Mike is a SSWM, 175 lbs, dark hair and likes long walks by the water, hikes in the mountains and being naked as much as possible. “Tired of Trying” made a huge impression on the local scene and gave the hard working drunks an anthem to their beer swilling, end of week antics. After 2 full length CDs and a tour that would leave them in Toronto, they found their grown up lives and daily routines taking precedence and called it quits. Mike eventually persuaded his musical family, the Chevaliers, to let him sit in for a few concerts in St. Albans. He enjoyed playing cover tunes for people rather than grinding out originals at this stage of the game. Mike is available to all females on a first come first served basis. And if you’re lucky enough, you may even be able to get him to dance! Mike was hungry for more so he put himself out for hire and received a call from the band Rock-N-Horse. Getting the job was a great opportunity to learn tons of music and play with a very talented group of guys. They even let him sing! But… all things must come to an end, and for a great reason. Mike is now the thunder and persuasion that’ll make your hips sway and heads bang for the mighty JUSTICE! Hang on and enjoy the ride because you may just have the chance to help write the next chapter in his history!
