+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| With a lineup that sports several members that are still in high school, |
| it would be easy to dismiss Ephrata, PAÆs TEXAS IN JULY as a novelty |
| act. To do so, however, would be a disservice to a band that is every |
| bit as talented as many artists who have honed their craft for years. |
| |
| In fact, in the year since the release of their 2008 debut EP, Salt of |
| the Earth, TEXAS has created a growing buzz for themselves with their |
| exciting groove-oriented take on modern metalcore, resulting in |
| impressive sales (of a digital-only EP), packed tour dates, and a |
| massive internet buzz leading up to the release of their debut |
| full-length, I Am (In stores September 15 th on CI Records). |
| |
| When the band uploaded the first preview track of I Am to their myspace |
| page, the epic stand-out ôElementsö, the song was played more than |
| 10,000 times in the first day û an impressive number for a band who, at |
| that point, had yet to leave for their first tour. In the following |
| weeks, as the band traveled from town to town, they found people showing |
| up and singing along to a track from a record that had yet to be |
| released. |
| |
| A quick search on YouTube will reveal guitarists and drummers playing |
| along with songs from Salt of the Earth, trying to show that they can |
| ôkeep upö. ThatÆs some heady stuff for a high school student to process, |
| but so far, says guitarist Logan Maurer, TIJ have managed to keep their |
| feet planted firmly on the ground. |
| |
| ôThe key word in our band is æhumble,Æö he explains. ôWe want everybody |
| to know that anyone could do this. We want them to know that we are just |
| like them and that we simply stuck with our dreams. We try to stay |
| humble and let the fans know that we love them and that without them, we |
| wouldnÆt be where we are.ö |
| |
| Produced by Carson Slovak of CENTURY (Prosthetic Records), I Am shows |
| the maturation of a band already mature beyond their years. Armed with a |
| prodigious chops and a song-writing prowess that belies their ages, I Am |
| represents a band that is ready for national attention. From the brutal |
| churning rhythms of ôElementsö to the mathy angular guitar riffs of |
| their hometown anthem, ôLancasterö, to the brutal ôSatellitesö |
| (featuring GWEN STACY vocalist Geoff Jenkins), TEXAS IN JULY display an |
| acumen for songcraft that comes only with dedication, commitment, and |
| maybe a little help from above. |
| |
| ôThe fact is,ö Maurer continues, ôWithout God, none of us would have the |
| ability to do anything that we do. He has blessed us in so many ways, so |
| this is almost our way to return the favor.ö |
| |
| PROPER REASON: |
| |
| Texas_In_July-I_Am-2009-WESUCKHEAPS is clearly a reencode. The group are |
| known reencoders, and that releae is no exception. Our release has a 26 |
| kbps higher average, and of course comes with proof. Enjoy this retail. |
