   About July for Kings



Hey there. Joe Hedges here. Thanks for finding us! July For Kings is an Ohio-based melodic rock group featuring yours truly, Dan McQuinn, John McGuire and Brian Ives.

HISTORY

July For Kings (JFK for short) is a rock band from the Cincinnati Ohio area comprised of singer/songwriter Joe Hedges, guitarist John McGuire, bassist Brian Ives and drummer Dan McQuinn. In 2002 July For Kings released their debut album SWIM on MCA Records. The first single "Normal Life" received airplay on stations all of the US including 1 most requested on Las Vegas KMBX.

In 2005 July For Kings released the seven-song follow-up Nostalgia showcasing Hedges' unique songwriting and T Miller's cello work. In its first week Nostalgia was the 1 most purchased album at CDbaby.com, the largest online retailer of independent music in the world. This album is still for sale at CDbaby. Please click the Nostalgia CD to get your copy now or post a review:

get nostalgia now!


In 2007 Joe Hedges released his solo debut Curvature, "a cross between Sting's atmospheric Jazz/Rock, The Samples' Folk/Jam/Pop vibe and Radiohead's sonic texturalism." (CityBeat Magazine, Cincinnati). Visit myspace.com/joehedges or joehedges.com to learn more.


* please note we can't put songs from our SWIM album on myspace. sorry! every time we do, we get flagged by Universal (our former parent label) for copyright infringement. even though we own most of the rights to the songs, they own those recordings. yeah, suck-o.

We have some friends.
