Mid Carson July(MCFNJ) formed in the winter of 1995-96 from the demise of Deckard and as an attempt by two brothers to experience writing and playing music together. It combines two guitars, bass, drums, and powerful yet melodic vocals to produce a driving explosion of sound. The live performance is non-stop energy, craziness, and rock. Over 300 hundred shows later, they are still filled with intensity and consistency. MCFNJ's influences include punk (Jawbreaker, Avail, Dillinger Four), hardcore (Lifetime), indie rock (Seaweed, Samiam, Farside, Jawbox, Rocket from the Crypt), and everyone's country hero Johnny Cash. The band is comprised of a crew of cable techs. Although day jobs are necessary to pay the rent, work is used mostly to maintain Mid Carson July and its touring habit. The primary objective is a full-time band and world domination. The recent relocation from central Pennsylvania to Tampa Florida is similar to the transition that MCFNJ are musically experiencing. The maturation in their songwriting is evident on the new album "Wessel" on Fueled By Ramen Records. Produced by Joe Williams and recorded at The Dungeon in Miami, MCFNJ's third full-length is the best representation to date. Although their brand of punk rock remains evident in most of the songs there , is a driving and hard hitting element that is present on this record that captures the band's unyielding live performance. With every song on "Wessel" clocking less than three minutes the album is focused and full on without any filler. Mid Carson July is soon to be a reference point for reviews to come.
