Do It To Julia - Archie Carroll - 192Kbps mp3 - Amazing Indie/Ro torrent

Do It To Julia is a five-piece indie folk rock band that officially began in the fall of 2006. Though yet untitled, the band originated with Ryan O’Keefe and Alex McWalters. Ryan is from Prospect Harbor, Maine and brought with him to Boone a pure, natural, folk simplicity that only Down-East Maine could produce. Alex is a drummer from Atlanta who grew up playing with punk rock and hardcore bands. The two met their freshman year at Appalachian State and became a duo that moved together through a few local Boone bands, or just played music by themselves. In the summer of 2006, the two began writing heavily and decided to expand the band. In the fall of 2006, they added Alex Miller on Bass and Halli Anderson on violin and vocals. Halli grew up playing “fiddle” and singing folk songs around her hometown of Hendersonville. Alex Miller came from Charlotte, where he had picked up bass playing with a few friends. Shortly after, the band felt it was a good “career choice” to add Stephen Bush as their lead guitarist. Stephen is a student in Appalachian’s school of music, originally from Atlanta, who grew up jamming to Led Zeppelin until his fingers bled.

For the next five months the band began writing together, and by Christmas the band had played a few house shows and parties and felt ready to move out of the “garage.” Each member seemed to bring their own style to each song, with influences ranging from Minus the Bear, Phish, Broken Social Scene, and Wilco. The result was a sound the band has trouble defining.

They soon began playing shows around Boone, having the privilege to share the stage with Mona Ray, Defending Brooklyn, Philmont, and Uncle Mountain. In May of 2007 the band recorded their first three song demo in the Hayes School of Music and has been encouraged to continue writing. In the Fall of 2007 Matt Rossino replaced Alex Miller on Bass. Soon after Do it to Julia signed a contract with Split Rail Records in December of 2007. The new album will be released in August 2008.
