The history of Justifide began at home with the brokenness of distressed family relations, and that eventually led to experiments  with alcohol and other drugs. While they were only in their teens, the Moncivaiz brothers lived in a house that was stressed to the breaking point, with the parents separated. This started to spiral downward, and would have ended up much worse. Fortunately, convinced of the family's need for God, the Moncivaiz father became born again. This changed lives of those in the family. Music was a natural outlet for the family, as both brothers started learning instruments at a young age. Justifide started with Ian Metzger as the vocalist, Jason Moncivaiz on drums, Sambo Moncivaiz on the bass , Joey Avalos playing the guitar. Their songs are not of overly depressive nor over-joyous tone. In the words of singer Jason Moncivaiz: After about a year of touring and recording their first EP, Ian Metzger left the band. Jason started singing as well as playing the drums. They toured a bit as a three piece band, but eventually started hiring drummers to free up Jason for vocals. Some of the drummers they worked with were Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three, Jeff Irizarry of Dear Ephesus and Micah Schweinsberg of The Crabb Family and Crabb Revival. After Joey Avalos  left Justifide in 2003, Jason and Sambo formed a new band, Reform the Resistance. The band has maintained the nu metal/rapcore sound. In 2014 they have released an EP Awards and Rankings. Christian Rock Radio Awards and Accolades
