July's debut album is one that people are really going to like. This pop punk filled effort really brings you back to the pop punk we are all used to, with more focus on the playing and the pop. July really have a sound that could work well for them as not many bands are popping up and doing the standard pop punk anymore. If you are a fan of July previous to this, you will notice that three of the songs are from their EP that has already been released. The songs do not sound the same at all, so on the full length, you are only really getting eight new songs, which is still pretty good. When looking at the recording of this album, it has been recorded very well, has a great sound and shows off what the band is doing. The instrumentation here is also pretty good as the band shows that they can do a little more than just play. When looking at the lyrics, they have exactly what you are looking for when you put on a pop punk album as well. If you are looking for a single to listen to, "What We Signed Up For" as this is the best song on the album and really gets you set to listen to the rest. July have done a really good job on this album and it is something that is going to get their name out there and take them to a lot of places, so get on this band sooner than later. Listen to this album to decide for yourself if it really is really good.

July have released their debut full length album titled "MMXII". This album is a very pop driven, fast paced punk album. These guys have a more traditional pop punk sound, as opposed to the new sound. They have a similar sound to that of All Time Low, Mayday Parade or even a Hit The Lights, so if you are into any of those bands, you could really like this band. They have done a great job on this album. 

This album has many of the songs from the previous album, just redone/re-recorded to sound better, so you may recognize many of the songs. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty solid standard. Being that their drummer Sam Guaiana recorded the album, and is known for working with bands like Silverstein, Like Pacific, and We Were Sharks, you know this has been done well. This album is quite clear and has a really nice sound to it. The instrumentation on this album is pretty average all in all. There isn't really anything here that will get you to turn your head, but they can play, and they do it quite well actually. 

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are nice nd soft, while still being loud and clear enough to be heard. Their vocalist can really sing, and gives the album a poppy feel. You can hear just what he is singing about, and really get the messages from each song. With the lyrics, the band sings about things like girls, relationships, weather they go bad or well, and more. These will really speak to more of a female crowd, but that doesn't mean guys can't like it. This really a relationship record, but it's done well. Good job.

If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "What We signed Up For" a listen, as it is the best song on the album, and further shows you the sound and style the band is going for. 

July have made a second album that really brings out more songs, and a bigger scale of what the band is trying to do with their sound. They have more for a better setlist live, and expanding the band. We really like this album and we think you guys should give it a listen. Listen and decide for yourself what you think about it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

The debut album from July has a very fun, happy feel to it. This is the kind of pop - punk that you began listening to. When listening to this album, you can see that they have something solid here, that you could run with. Given that there seems to be a shortage of these kind of bands around here anymore, it's nice to see a band doing it, and it actually being good.
