The band released its self-titled debut album on October 29, 2002. The album included several collaborations with Michelle Branch, who promoted it on MTV's Total Request Live. After their first music video was shown on the network, Wal-Mart agreed to sponsor a short tour to further promote the album. The band played several solo shows, and also opened for Nick Carter on his Backstreet Boy tour. Billboard Magazine writer David Menconi called justincase "an act to watch," and guitar-maker Ibanez published a series of ads featuring the band.
Despite heavy promotion, though, the album lagged commercially. Lackluster sales numbers caused Maverick to drop the band, and they have been unable to secure another recording contract. The band is on a self-described "indefinite hiatus" while its members attend college and play the occasional local show. Lead singer Justin Tosco is also performing with Policy, another local band.
Don't Cry For Us
Justincase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to know just what to say
And I'm just sitting here just asking myself why
It's good to know you feel the same
And I believe
I want to be your everything
And anything you need.
[Chorus]
Don't cry for us tonight
Don't cry we'll be all right
If I could I'd be by your side
Don't cry for us
You know that I'd give anything to watch you sleep
I can picture you just lying there
We don't need to say the words
Cause they don't mean a thing
You know you're not alone when someone cares.
And I believe
You are still my anything
And everything I need
[Chorus]
Built of steel, we may seem weak
and rusted
But in times like these we've always won
and trusted
in ourselves
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
It's hard to know just what to do in times like these
It's hard to know just what to say

It's difficult to take the right steps in situations like this

Because words cannot express our feelings

You have support when someone cares for you
You are still my anything
You still mean everything to me
And everything I need
You are everything I require
Built of steel, we may seem weak
Despite being resilient, we may appear fragile
and rusted
and worn out
But in times like these we've always won
But we have always emerged victorious in such situations
and trusted
and relied on

I got to know them because of Michelle Branch! ("Without You" is still my favorite!)
This brings back memories of my teenager days.
I still love and miss them from Japan🇯🇵
@michaelrietveld942
You opened for my band on my birthday years ago.
Your mom was pissed with how slow it took me to set up our pyro.
Bass player gave me a big hug and kiss and wished me a happy birthday.
It pissed your mom off even more.
I was turning 28 and you were 15.

@@rosepawlin4178 Oh yes, I remember about five years ago, I was in a record store and managed to find a copy of their album AUTOGRAPHED by all of them. I could not believe it! It's still an amazing album, it's a shame they never got more popular. I still have a huge obsession with Michelle Branch and can't believe that she also fell off the map :(
