About Me |

"I closed my eyes and fell into a world of sonic ecstacy upon hearing "Curtain Of Stars" the first time. And, now that I've heard it many times over, it's like my own little island paradise. I still close my eyes, and I'm still emotionally moved by this song. And this is only the beginning for July Fourth. The band takes subdued and sometimes dark themes and gives them a pinch of bright color by way of great melodies, sharp vocals, and a cohesive and original writing style. Each song is crafted into a dream, filled with soft and fluffy melodies that are backed by perfectly tempered instrumentation all the way around. There are very few bands that move me and stir something inside of me like this band does. The connection with the listener is powerful and amazing. I love this band." -- Dr. Music, Scott Itter (www.drmusic.org) "July fourth is a Chicago quartet made up of dream melodies, gymnastic vocals, and tension/release rhythm. Pop, yes, prog, yes, rock, yes, shoegaze, yes, DeBussy, yes. Elegance, intelligence and a touch of posh pretension make up songs that are undeniably irresistible. July Fourth has the ability to traverse many genres, giving it a signature sound that is truly fresh and inviting. It’s par for the course, July Fourth is considered one of the best unsigned bands playing in Chicago today." "Tempering their jittery new wave urgings with a solid pop sensibility, then tweaked by an ever-so-slight emo turn gives July Fourth's five-song Curtain Of Stars a richness that belies the band's power trio line-up. Solid drumming keeps these guys' faces from falling into their shoes or getting too sloggy-proggy for their own good, such that the second and third cuts score convincingly, and the final track solidly hooks the listener for good." Illinois Entertainer David C. Eldredge More information available on our Blog . Curtain of Stars EP 2007 |
