Leaving July
"An ordinary miracle? Or perhaps a Mundane Phenomena? That's a perplexing
oxymoron at best. Speaking of oxymorons, how often do you hear a group of young
men playing screamo punk rock with real talent? Although I rarely say any album
is a miraculous work, I certainly can't call Leaving July's debut release
Mundane Phenomena ordinary." InSite Austin's Briana Reinersten said it best
when describing Leaving July's debut album. After little less than a year,
Leaving July's debut album has left a mark on the Austin Music Scene. Voted
Austinpunkrock.org band of the month for May and rated an (A) by Austin's own
Insite magazine, Leaving July is just beginning to scratch the surface of its
potential. Having formed in late 2003, Jason Gonzales and Sherman Smith,
guitarist and bassist respectively, founded the band while attending the
University of Texas. After months of playing in garages, Stephen Gaydos joined
the band. Initially playing guitar Stephen became the singer and Leaving July
was born. In early 2004 the band entered the studio and hammered out a 3 song
demo, "Persistence is Futile." The original drummer left the band in late
2004 and was replaced by long-time friend Brian Baucum. With the addition of
Brian the band found themselves in a creative whirlwind that led to 11 songs
being orchestrated in a three month period. Jeremy Krimmel joined soon
thereafter as a guitarist, allowing Stephen to focus on vocals, and on April 8,
2005, Leaving July released their debut full-length titled "Mundane
Phenomena." Stephen left the band in summer of 2005, and Jeremy took over as
singer. Within weeks Patrick Hobbie joined the band as lead guitar and added
the final piece of the puzzle. Having solidified its lineup Leaving July is
determined to bring it's music to the masses. Infused with heartfelt poetic
lyrics and youthful energy Leaving July will have you out of your seat craving
more.

Members in the band include:
Jeremy Krimmel - Lead Vocals/Guitar
Jason Gonzales - Guitar/Backing Vocals
Patrick "Deuce" Hobbie - Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals
