JF5 Save Diana Vickers

Justice Force 5 and Diana Vickers in Brighton SOURCE magazine Brighton's best music culture and listings magazine

Brighton’s superhero rock band, Justice Force 5 – who “kick ass like Van Dam and rock like Van Halen” – have turned up on YouTube saving Diana Vickers’ life. Yeah, the real Diana Vickers – although the ‘save’ is to promote their recent double A-side single release ‘Fight the Fight’ and ‘J.U.S.T.I.C.E Force Dance’. Turns out the ex-X Factor poppet and No.1 pop star is a huge fan after seeing several of their gigs.
“JF5 are wicked live,” Diana says. “They're so different from any other band out there at the moment. It’s very refreshing. Their live sets are so fun and exciting; they really know how to win a crowd over and keep them on the edge of their seats!”
Watch the short film here – it’s got fighting, special effects and Diana in a lycra outfit.
