Justified Asylum is an alternative rock band from Winchester, VA. Kellen Breeden started the band and Nic and Charley joined shortly after. Justified Asylum started playing shows around Virginia and West Virginia that supported the local music scene. Some of these shows helped raise funds to benefit people with illnesses including epilepsy and breast cancer. Breeden explains, “We try to help with that kind of thing. The world needs more of that. We write songs about emotions and events in our lives, which brings the crowd and band together.”

Justified Asylum is inspired by bands such as Mayday Parade, Blink 182, and Shinedown. Breeden states, “These bands helped us get through life and so did music. We are just trying to return the favor.”
