July 14th were an Australian folk, rock band formed in 1984 in Adelaide by Terry Bradford on guitar and vocals, Robyn Habel on bass guitar and vocals and Rod Ling on guitar and vocals. They issued three albums, Australian Bite (1985), Cut It Live (1986) and Till We Meet Again (1988). Bradford, as Terry Every, on acoustic guitar and vocals formed a side folk, pop project, the Every Brothers, in 1986 with Greg Williams (as Greg Every) on acoustic guitar and vocals. In 1987, July 14th disbanded and Habel, on double bass and vocals, joined the Every Brothers. That group released three albums, Picks and Pens (1986), Everyone (1989) and Junk Factory (1998) before disbanding in 1999. Habel undertook a solo career from 1993. Bradford became a record label manager.
1984–1987: Early years
July 14th were formed in April 1984 in Adelaide as a folk, rock band by Terry Bradford on guitar and vocals (ex-Instamatix), Roy Ezinger on drums (ex-U-Bombs, Mutes), Robyn Habel on bass guitar and vocals and Rod Ling on guitar and vocals (both ex-Empty Vessels).[1][2] Bradford, Habel and Ling each celebrate birthdays on 14 July.[1] Their debut single, "Me and My Gun", was issued in September 1984 via Greasy Pop, which was written by Bradford.[1][2][3] Soon after, Tom Cowsill (ex-Odyssey, Montage) replaced Ezinger on drums.[1]
The group released their debut album, Australian Bite, on 14 July 1985, which was produced by Jim Barbour.[1][4] David Day, in SA Great It's Our Music 1956-1986 (1987), observed, "[it's] an exciting performance record... [which] highlighted the virtuoso talent of guitarist [Ling] in the rich, crafted songs from the pen of [Bradford]".[4] The Canberra Times' Andrew Ferrington felt the band attempted "to prick a political consciousness and, although the lyrics don't quite hit the mark, the music is fascinating – a cross between whatever new wave is and post holocaust sparse, spare, thin, instrument work. It definitely grows with each listening."[5]
July 14th provided the soundtracks for two separate documentaries, ABC-TV's Searching for Women in History and the American The Zanoni Project, on the Zanoni (1985) shipwreck.[1][2][6]
