30. The Julies

30. The Julies

Author: Markly Morrison September 24, 2020 Duration: 30:00
The Julies were a band formed in the early 90s in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The band had already broken up by the time their EP “Lovelife” was released on the indie Christian label Flying Tart, but the small amount of music they created made an impact on me, a guy I recently met named Jason, and countless dozens on top of that. “Lovelife” has recently been reissued on vinyl by Lost in Ohio, among with a digital and limited cassette release of the band’s demo “January.” I spoke with the band’s lead singer and song writer, Chris Newkirk, about his time in this project, “Christian pick-up-lines,” a whole other sort of “music charts,” and pointers on how (not) to appeal to a shoegaze label. If you’ve never heard the Julies, you’re in for a real treat.
