John Justin & the Thunderwings was a rock group originating from Melbourne, Australia, established in 1985 by John Justin (guitar, vocals), Paul Hines (keyboards), Gordon Pitts (bass, vocals), and Carl Manuell (drums). In 1987, the lineup changed with Tony Featherstone taking over bass duties from Pitts and Robert Wodrow stepping in on drums, replacing Manuell. Their sole album, titled Justice, was released in 1986.
According to Debbie Cameron of The Canberra Times, Justin demonstrated solid performance skills, while music expert Ian McFarlane characterized the album as "filled with confident glam-pop tracks."
The band's first single, "Flash King Cadillac" (1986), was co-produced by Ross Fraser, who earned an ARIA nomination in 1987 for this work as well as for John Farnham's Whispering Jack.
