Texas in July-There's Talk of Strange Folk Abroad

[7777777marine]

0_0 you blew mah mahnd

[tkellert91]

3 years later i still go back and listen to this ep. can anyone say true fan?

[kingpurp420]

@kersedsaint TROLLOLOLOLOLOL!

[PanamaJack741]

They sound like ABR because they actually used to open for ABR's and TSWP shows back in Lancaster PA.

But I mean there is nothing to argue about, ABR is sick and so is TIJ so, why can't we get along and just enjoy these bands?

[montoyazach]

i like when people say they sound like abr, because they actually do. their are a lot of bands out their that people say sound like abr (which they dont), ive heard people say i the breather, sounds like abr, even motionless in white. people think all bands sound like abr, and it pisses me off when they don't.

[Mason7259]

hahahaa 69 likes lmao



[65thekid]

this song name is freakin awesome

[FatSHMEATProductions]

During this breakdown I put this guy twice my size out cold talk about Chuck Norris empowering music...

[chikapai]

Thumbs up if you LOVE the breakdown at 4.08!!!!

[johnnyXsniper]

ofcourse theyl sound a bit like fuckin abr the band are friends and the drummers chill together. every video theres an ongoing argument, if they were THAAAT bad, u wouldnt be on the fuckin video

[dracon7474]

@johnnyXsniper yea they're both from the same area and they hang out a lot

[FoggyDoggg]

For real, these guys suck nuts for the most part as a whole, but their drummer is OUTRAGEOUS. Seriously, he is crazy solid live and is just a well-rounded drummer. Their guitarists are pretty damn good from the sound of it too....vocals....not so much XD

[XxNobodyXx7]

@FoggyDoggg I'm friends with these guys they live in toledo like me.

[sheldonio]

@XxNobodyXx7 FAIL. They live in Ephrata, PA. -_________-

[XxNobodyXx7]

@sheldonio They recently moved down there

[sheldonio]

@XxNobodyXx7 Again, Fail. They have ALWAYS lived there, they grew up in Ephrata with and wentto Ephrata high school. where they got famous. and recorded their first three albums while going there. -_____-

[sheldonio]

@XxNobodyXx7 they formed in 2007, while they were IN EPHRATA.

[sheldonio]

@XxNobodyXx7 OH! and something else thats funny, I just asked CHRISTIAN ROYER, THEIR GUITARIST. and he said no they have NEVER lived there. so quit making up bullshit.

[TheMassaCreature]

LORD OF THE FUCKING RINGS!!!!!!!!!! :D This band just got so much better!

[69stars69]

why must such talented bands be Christian bands :( this music is not "Christian" or church sounding.

[FactoryForFailuree]

@69stars69 god doesnt listen to the music. he listens to the praise.

[superbobby324]

@69stars69 Jake lurrhs, matt greiner, mattie montgomery, are all people the hardcore christian scene who are bigger stronger christians than most of the people i see in churches

[m0nsterfr3ak77]

haha...lord of the rings...

[martelhammer777]

the band has themselves in MANT interviews that their biggest influence is ABR.....deal with it

[1likepurple]

no my friend ABR is the best metal band out there.....texas in july is alot like them because the two bands are pretty close.....but besides the fact that you think that texas in july copies ABR.....they still sound beyond incredible

[xSiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

So amazing.

[Radziopham]

WIth some cleanvocals this%0woung would be even more epic!

[hihowsitgoin899]

omg they were so good live

[Paaandamonium]

Does anyone have the lyrics?

[horrorfestlover]

Amazing screaming and kick ass drums. I need to learn that on the drums.

[coreyJ101]

WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ON HERE AT ALL?! it's a good song by an awesome band so just shut the fuck up and listen. take your bullshit convos somewhere else. 

[JordanWieber]

why the heck would any one dogg on TEXAS IN JULY

there style is way different from any other band style.

ABR and TIJ sounds nothing alike

[MojoWeedPatrol9]

Does anyone know lyrics for the gang vocals at 2:32?

If you know them please reply.

[erkver12]

@MojoWeedPatrol9

THE TIME HAS COME WHEN THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO HOLD YOUR HAND!!!!!!

[MojoWeedPatrol9]

Thanks dude:)

[tkellert91]

your wrong, its "the time has come when there's no one left to hold your HEAD", not hand

[camren666]

@erkver12 nice

[bobby8896]

@erkver12 xD awesome

[hatesKYLEyou]

@MojoWeedPatrol9 honestly how could you not have figured that out...

[dracon7474]

@MojoWeedPatrol9

**The time has come when there's no one left to hold your hand**

[Avinai213]

@MojoWeedPatrol9  lol u said "gang vocals"

[kssael]

The triplets in this song = As Texas Runs July! XD

[forestportal101]

listen to abr and texas in july in the same room you can tell the difference but both very talented

[canadialad99]

why is it always bands i happen to like people use their comment boards to cry and voice their close-minded opinions about the music they are listening to

>.> whats the point

[SeaJayRiley]

Agreed! It really begins to piss me off. Anyway, this song is amazing! =) Aurora, Hook Line & Sinner, and Dressed For War are my four favorite songs by this band. These guys seem like a mixture of The Devil Wears Prada & Mychildren Mybride to me. Haha, I love it!

[canadialad99]

i absolutely love The Devil Wears Prada

my favorite band then comes August Burns Red then As I Lay Dying

[SeaJayRiley]

good choices man! Check out For Today. =)

[Iamcoreysmith]

This is my favorite TIJ song.

[kersedsaint]

you could care less about my opinion? yet you're responding to it...

"Also I know ALOT about music..." says the guy who has 6 videos of "TOP 10 BROOTAL BREAKDOWNS" and you're telling me you know a lot about music? you're a fucking joke rofl. and yes, I can honestly say that they are bad, its an opinion is it not? ;). I listen to this music for basically my whole life and it's just getting worse. and are you fucking kidding me? this band proudly admits their biggest influence is ABR.

[erkver12]

Yes their biggest influence is ABR but they dont copy them, everybody says they copy them to sound like they know music, but that statement is wrong they are influenced but copy and influence are not the same. Also bc i put up breakdown videos doesnt mean i dont know music, it just means i like breakdowns and music that has them. Its good music imo. That definitely isn't the only thing i listen to. Dont be so quick to judge.

[kersedsaint]

haha I was jp.

breakdowns get boring after a while imo. all sounds the same.

[SeaJayRiley]

Lol, haha, how about both of you shut the fuck up & listen. Music is not good or bad, because it is all about the opinion of the listener. You cannot call a band bad when they have tons of dedicated fans listening to them. But that doesn't mean you cannot dislike their music. You also can't say someone doesn't know shit about music because they have breakdown videos. Breakdowns can be among the most difficult parts of a song. I love breakdowns myself. However, a band CAN overuse breakdowns. Pt 1

[kersedsaint]

@SeaJayRiley

I see your point. but in my opinion I can still call it bad, especially when I've seen it all done before when bands have been doing it before them, and still doing it even better. This "metalcore" genre is getting worse, it's not progressing like it should be. That's my beef with it. Breakdowns are mainly in a 4/4 beat, and they are far far from difficult... btw, you're subscribed my old account "brainwave69" haha. I canceled it not too long ago.

[SeaJayRiley]

haha. nice, I'll have to subscribe to your new account. ^_^

[kersedsaint]

I don't really do much on this, except favourite things.

[SeaJayRiley]

Ehh, doesn't matter. I love For Today, so I figure you like somewhat the same music as me. Haha. If I remember correctly you had an Oceano picture? I love Oceano. You should check out Flawless by Martyr Defiled. Short & simple breakdown, but quite epic. "Finish Him!" Lmao.

[WUTBM]

@erkver12 to be fair, TIJ completely ripped off ABR.

doesn't make them not good

[SeaJayRiley]

Pt 2.

This band does give off an August Burns Red vibe. I give you that, kersedsaint . I am quite a fucked up music listener myself. I listen to Just about everything except Jazz & Country. Deathcore, Rap, Rock, Metal, Orchestra, Piano Classics. It's all good to me. So yes, you could say I am just a little faggot who is lecturing you on something he doesn't have a fucking clue about. All I am trying to say to BOTH of you, and any/everyone else involved in this argument. JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!

[notetoslef]

@kersedsaint

ahah go listen to august burns red's ep it's nothing compared to texas in july's and besides they're not copying them there is many musical differences in the cd's, august burns red is good so is texas in july leave it at that holy shit, if you want to listen to something insane cause you know music so well listen to animals as leaders

[DragonicGod]

@kersedsaint I know this isn't my conversation, but seriously. I have to point this out. It's HIS video, so someone flaming on HIS video he's going to pay attention to. That's why he's responding to it. He doesn't care about it, so as in he doesn't want you to comment about your opinion on his video. Get it?

[pearldrummer1290]

@kersedsaint i do agree that music is deff falling, i would have to dissagree in a way also this type of music is actually in high demand along with country music. In the good ole days (late 60's -80's) was the best music thats where you will find the best musicians i think and no one will ever be as big as those bands

[Skylightpr]

@kersedsaint having abr as your biggest influence cant be a bad thing...

[superbobby324]

@kersedsaint The drummer is Matt greiner's cousin, so they have a pass on the whole ABR knock off band lol

[kersedsaint]

This band makes me want to throw up.

[emokidsloverazors]

shut the fuck up bro its ur breath causing that u loser even if they dont sound good dont mean u cant hate on them wheres ur band huh wheres ur countless fans putting ur music up huh???? exactly ur at home bored as shit jealous they got what u want hey why dont u work for it instead of hating on people who are doing good for themselves

[kersedsaint]

Yo bro... you mad? I feel a weird vibe off your comment, I think you sound mad or something. Apparently I'm jealous of a band that obviously can't write music and puts 20 breakdowns in their songs? You got me bro. Cry more. Btw, nice youtube name faggot.

[tkellert91]

you obviously dont know shit about texas in july. they have a lot going for them, and like emokidsloverazors said, your just jealous cuz you cant do what they are doing. so quit bashing on an amazing band cuz you know they are good or you wouldnt have looked them up in the first place you douche bag

[kersedsaint]

actually, you don't know shit. a friend sent me a link asking if I liked them. and I seen them play in my town twice... and they're nothing great live. "quit bashing on an amazing band"

so amazing that they have to copy august burns red and fail miserably. your opinion is invalid and you know nothing about music. shut the fuck up.

[erkver12]

Ok, stop being a douche bag, we could give less of a shit about your opinion, no ones opinion is invalid, thats why its an opinion dumb ass. Second of all, when people dont like bands, they say they sound bad live. You cannot honestly say a band sounds bad unless you know their music very well, if you just go to a concert without ever listening to them and you dont like them of course youre going to say they are bad. i have watched many videos of TIJ live and they are really good live...

[erkver12]

...they are not a rip off of ABR, they dont sound like them. Btw TIJ's drummer is better than ABR's. Also i know A LOT about music, this is just an EP and for EP its pretty damn good. There is a lot of breakdowns but still the album as whole is good. Their new album is better and they have improved. I would like to see you write music that people like, trust me it isnt as easy as you think. They arent the best band ever but they are pretty good. Just calm down and quit talking shit.

[sharpUSMCmaster]

i cum when i see em live shut up and they didnt have there bass player and still i died..ho

[Dopeboy212]

@kersedsaint abr is the worst band ever to grace this earth, with the exception of jonas brothers/justin beiber.

[kersedsaint]

@Dopeboy212 ...Do you realize what you just said? Get your head out of your ass. Troll.

[Thenameschuro]

@Dopeboy212 That is the single stupidest thing you have and ever will say, GTFO

[mike6oh9]

@Dopeboy212 your fuckin retarded and have no taste in music, fuck your life

[laman420]

@Dopeboy212 now Beiber is Metal

[NinjaPlease101]

@Dopeboy212 your opinions fuckin gay. burn in hell

[sharpUSMCmaster]

u suck this is heavy and good and breakdowns are pure sick shut up faggot listen to some greenday or something shit head

[tkellert91]

my one friends band is opening up for Texas In July in Allentown, PA. everyone that lives close should try to make it. its January 2nd, a Saturday. I Am History will be there too. gonna be my 4th time seeing TIJ

[Speedmetaldude]

I was there too. I like this band but not my favorite......BTA is my favorite just because of their technical style of music.

[dudeurgonna]

i saw these guys july 31st. best show i've ever been to around here.

[metalhead9392]

was it in texas?

[dudeurgonna]

lol no. they started in Pennsylvania. i saw them in delaware.

[Growzon]

love the drums in thefirst part ;D

[TheBaker420024]

who can i subscribe to to hear the whole album??!?!

[erkver12]

i have this whole album.

[TheBaker420024]

its only a 5 song album?

[erkver12]

yes, but they are coming out with a new album in a few days.

[deathcorezach]

its pretty good, sounds like alot of other bands though, i still like them though

[metalista134]

I love this band soo much, but i always thought Alex G. isn't that good of a screamer.

[TheBaker420024]

i agree.

[jonnyshredfayce]

seeing these guys on june 13th

[thedevilwearshoodies]

Im seeing them on June 12 i can't wait

[kingballa225]

jeez. other bands need some fuckin lessons from these guys. so rage.

[wafflesseagulls]

freaking intense. i cant get enough of them

[TearyEyesOfKashim]

wow cool just pm me some christian metal like this band men ty dude...

[Abadabedaba]

there are no other bands like this lmao

[TDWPshallwe]

accually there alot like ABR but still i cant get enough of them

[Abadabedaba]

well maybe drums wise but theres a difference in vocals and the TIJ guitars are more melodic as opposed to abrs guitar style

[chinapolybreakdown]

The drums yes but like Thrill Seeker style :)

[XxXTheShredXxX]

fucking brutal man

thnxs so much for posting this and helping me discover new talent

[thebreakdowndavid]

i just came...

[609becky]

songs beast!!! =)

[AndrewsFootage]

dang... some serious talent here. this band is going far.

although my favorite song by them is show some pride<3

[thedevilwearshoodies]

i saw these last night. it was just all mayhem

[NoHeckingWay]

The pinches were so freaking clear... xD That drummer is something else though.

[omgMHomg]

I don't mean to be annoying, but don't you think if they're gonna record it in a studio they might as well get the pinches perfect? i mean they can try it as many times as they want haha

[Joetheamazingguy]

ya but i think he was just saying that they CAN do pinches clear because a lot of newer bands cant do pinches that dont sound like crap or half the stuff that texas in july can do.

XD

[omgMHomg]

Hahaha bro if a guitarist shouldn't be in a band if they can't do a pinch harmonic

nd yeahh these guys are really good.

[inyazha]

it still costs moeny haha but true with pinch harmonicsss

[Joetheamazingguy]

I know i was saying that a lot of bands pinch harmonics just sound like crap

[stopglobalswarming]

This great to listen to when mountain biking. Pedal harder, rock louder!

[erkver12]

lol

[jdkjhfkshglag]

Lmfao, who woulda thought it. XD

[apolloCreed1309]

MEAN!!!!!! this bands fucking sweet! love the pinch harmonics

[TheUnitarian]

Oh my gawd.
