Bio

Julius C
'jool-yuhs 'see - noun

You have stumbled upon the New York University-born band, Julius C, at a pivotal point in the band's existence. Before the writing and recording of the group’s upcoming album "OK, OK" from which the songs on the "Don't Want Anybody" EP are culled, Julius C was pretty much imploding. The band's core duo of Vocalist/Guitarist Jay Stolar, Bassist Mike Tuccillo and Tuccillo's childhood friend, Keyboardist Jason Wexler, had grown to ten band members, and then the guys burned through four drummers, and then they managed to top that off with a couple of painful personal break-ups that left the band members feeling empty, lost, and disconnected from the music they were playing.

Cut to 2007 and it's not a pretty picture for a band that makes its name on propulsive, shiny pop songs with hooks-a-plenty. Willing to give it one last try, the guys moved into a cheap house with a broken Jacuzzi in Newark, NJ with new drummer, John Adamski. By the end of the year, Stolar and Tuccillo had both written enough material to fill their own records. Returning to Tucclillo and Wexler's hometown of Staten Island, Julius C spent the next six months consumed in writing, arranging, and producing "OK, OK." The rock-n-roll spirit of the record sits on top of stories of love, loss, and self discovery that make for a uniquely introspective while still explosively raw record. Now standing united and determined, Julius C is ready to share their sound with the world. No more imploding, only exploding from here.

Press

"When you get down to it, Julius C’s Ok, Ok. is the perfect example of fantastically fun pop rock that is smart enough to delve into and conquer several genres of music in one shot... Ok, Ok. is an addicting listen from beginning to end and quite possibly one of the best albums of the year."

"If I had to make up a genre for the sound? I would call it ‘soundtrack to life’ music. Sometimes harder, sometimes easier, but always interesting."
-InterstateLive.com

"One of the best bands I've seen at [SXSW]"
-Amy Luft, Montreal Gazette

"They have so much energy when they perform and their music is so much fun. Seriously people, if you have the chance to see these guys perform, take it. They really love performing and it makes you love watching them."
