About this project
Hi!
We are Julius C and welcome to our Kickstarter Page.
Over the past two years Julius C has written and recorded our debut album... We cooperated, sweated, bled, argued, cried, shouted, and hugged. Now, it's finally time to release it.
But releasing a record as an independent band is difficult. It takes a lot of expertise, work, and money. Releasing a record without the support of a record label is feasible, but its a daunting task. This is where YOU & KICKSTARTER come in.
Kickstarter is a site that's dedicated towards helping artists (across all media types) achieve their dream. Our dream is for YOU TO BE OUR RECORD LABEL.
With every pledge we receive from YOU, we will be one step closer to having the support we need to release our album in the best way we can.
Your pledges will go towards:
- Paying for an entertainment lawyer.
- Paying for a PR agent.
- Paying for radio promotion.
- Shooting a new music video for our next single. Check out our first video right here!
- Duplication of the album
- Tour support and promotion
A $5,000 budget for releasing a record is a great start...so please check out our pledge prizes to the right, pick one that piques your fancy and help us release our record today.
Thank you.

You have stumbled upon the New York University-born band, Julius C, at a pivotal point in the band's existence. Before the writing and recording of the group’s upcoming album "OK, OK", Julius C was pretty much imploding. The band's core of Vocalist/Guitarist Jay Stolar, Bassist Mike Tuccillo and Tuccillo's childhood friend, Keyboardist Jason Wexler, had grown to ten band members, and then the guys burned through four drummers, and then managed to top that off with a couple of painful personal break-ups that left the band members feeling empty, lost, and disconnected from the music they were playing.
Cut to 2007 and it's not a pretty picture for a band that makes its name on propulsive, shiny pop songs with hooks-a-plenty. Willing to give it one last try, the guys moved into a cheap house with a broken Jacuzzi in Newark, NJ with new drummer, John Adamski. By the end of the year, Stolar and Tuccillo had both written enough material to fill their own records. Returning to Tuccillo and Wexler's hometown of Staten Island, Julius C spent the next six months consumed in writing, arranging, and producing "OK, OK." The rock-n-roll spirit of the record sits on top of stories of love, loss, and self discovery that make for a uniquely introspective while still explosively raw record. Now standing united and determined, Julius C is ready to share their sound with the world. No more imploding, only exploding from here.
