Leaving July

New E.P. "When the Sky Comes Falling" out soon

About Me


| View Show | Create Your Own "I'll take the blame for what is right or wrong, and sing that same old tired song again." This simple yet poetic line from Leaving July's new single, "Taking the Blame," sets the tone for the new EP coming out early this year. Having spent the past year touring and building a fan base, Leaving July is set to take the local and national music scene by storm with their youthful, energetic live shows and poetic lyrics. "Writing music is more than just structuring chords together," says guitarist Jason Gonzales. "It's about structuring a feeling of energy, passion, and meaning together in a way that the audience understands what we are trying to portray without even reading the lyrics..." Leaving July took this passion for writing music to a higher level with their new EP. In January and February of 2006, Leaving July hit the studio to begin writing a new five-song concept EP based on the five stages of grief. Having written the five songs, the band set out in March for Muse Studios in Atlanta, Georgia to work with producers Lee March and Andy Reilly (Far Less, Fight Paris, etc.). In a ten day time period, the band spent every hour in the studio, recording what would become "When the Sky Comes Falling," the culmination of hard work and persistence. With this new EP, Leaving July hopes to connect with audiences in a way that has never been done before. With a video, new website and DVD, Leaving July is determined to flood their audiences' senses with incredible live performances and beautiful heartfelt lyrics.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
