Originally a studio project that became a live gigging band from the late 1990s onwards, Mr Love & Justice are a Swindon-based acoustic guitar-driven folk/pop collective, fronted by singer/songwriter Steve Cox. Often described as an essentially English take on the west coast sound of the 1960s, with contemporary, politically and socially aware lyrical concerns presented in classic melodic song-writing style. Layered guitars and vocals evoking influences from Beatles, Floyd, XTC, Weller, Byrds et al melded into a unique, warm predominantly acoustic soundscape.
