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.

Justincase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
usually i'm always tired of it
but something in my life have changed
something i'm about to explain
its you, its you
the crystal glowing in my eyes,
my almost "all the time" smile
the pressure of adrenaline is rising
but that is not happening now
cause i want to be with you
mary? where are you going noW?
i wanna spend some time (second time it's "my life") with you
i'll do anything you want
i'll kiss you and i'll close my eyes
i'll treat you like the porcelain doll you are
c'mon, please give me one more kiss
or like you always do bite my ears
it's so great that we don't fight
and we have nothing to hide
you're my girlfriend and the only thing
that keeps me alive
we agree in so many things
and we're always laughing
with you i have so much fun
you are my moon and my sun
and the stars above
it's the first time
that i can truly say i really love someone
luckily for me it's you
without you i wouldnt know,
what to do!!!
chorus
mary....where are you going now
i want to be part of you
this emotions that i have
there's no way i can deny
that i truly love you....
