Biography

The concept of praxis (what happens when people extend themselves to do good and how their capacity to do good increases because of it) has been on Justin Dillon’s mind a lot lately, so much so that he has decided to do something pretty radical with Tremolo’s first full-length album release. With the album “Love Is The Greatest Revenge” recently released on FLAGSHIP Recordings, he is puting 50% of all of the record royalties into a benevolence trust fund.

Yes, you read that right – 50%.

Called the Love>Revenge Fund, through online voting, fans are able to decide where the trust fund money they contributed via their record purchase goes – be it cancer research, tsunami relief, AIDS hospice, anti-slavery operations, or the charity of their choice. Fans are also able to gain exposure for the causes that matter most to them on the site.

“Music has a way of welling up something inside of us to be better than we are,” says Dillon. “And then what do you do with that? To me, it’s like I’ve written these songs as a way to connect with humanity and hopefully uplift it, and I feel like it’s the responsibility of the record to act upon that and to follow through on it.”And uplift it does.

From the catchy grit of “Evil Twin” to the gorgeous lilt of “Promise Ring,” Dillon & Co. meld the bluesy, dirty guitars of The Stones and T-Rex with the lift-you-even-higher, anthemic bombast of U2, and tie it up in a hugely attractive package known as Tremolo. “I think the thing that galvanized the whole wanting to be in a band thing was going to see U2 play,” says Dillon, who began taking guitar lessons in high school.
