July A.D.

July A.D. was born from the fragments of a band called Mirror back in the good old days of Brooklyn. The members are Tim McCarthy and Mario Cirillo. They write, perform and produce all the music you hear. They basically met because of a conversation Tim McCarthy and Mario Cirillo were having about music when they both realized they shared a passion (borderline obsession) with the Beatles. As they made countless journeys on the B train to the Village in NYC to buy any and all bootleg recordings (remember Dan the Record Man) of the Fab Four, they started talking about songwriting and before they knew what hit them, they formed the band Mirror.

The two of them, along with Frank and John (hi guys) rehearsed at Bay Ridge Sound Studio’s for many years and it was great fun. However, as life sometimes dictates our time and space, each of them went off to their lives that were waiting for them, including marriage, families and work. It wasn’t until a few years later when on that same B train that Tim and Mario had a chance meeting and started to reminisce a bit. Well, no sooner did they arrive at their destinations that it was decided to jam a little on a Friday night and guess what? The fire was still burning and after a few more sessions, they made a new commitment to their music, called themselves JULY A.D. and the rest as they often say, is history.
