With a lineup that sports several members that are still in high school, it would be easy to dismiss Ephrata, PA’s 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. 
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 “Elements” to the mathy angular guitar riffs of their hometown anthem, “Lancaster”, to the brutal “Satellites” (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.
