The Cretones - Justine

Review by John Cowper

The Cretones' debut album, Justine, released in 1980, was a solid offering of power pop and new wave music. The album was named after lead singer Mark Goldenberg's wife, and it featured ten tracks that showcased the band's catchy hooks and strong melodies.

From the opening track "Mad Love" to the closing song "One Kiss," Justine was a non-stop ride of upbeat, guitar-driven pop songs that were reminiscent of bands like The Cars and Elvis Costello. The album's standout track, "Real Love," had a driving beat and a sing-along chorus that made it an instant classic.

The Cretones' musicianship was top-notch, as evidenced by the tight harmonies and catchy guitar riffs throughout the album. Goldenberg's vocals were clear and emotive, and his lyrics were often introspective, exploring themes of love and relationships.
