Cold July are an award-winning indie folk-alt pop band from Guildford, Surrey, creating timeless, harmony-driven music inspired by Americana and classic singer-songwriter traditions.

​

In January 2026, they won Best Indie Act at the Radio Wigwam Awards in London and also placed third for Best Breakthrough Artist.

​

Featuring a male and female co-lead dynamic and rich three-part harmonies, their sound nods to Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac and the California music scene of the early 70s, while drawing influence from artists such as Crowded House, Flyte, the Goo Goo Dolls and Gracie Abrams.

​

Formed in May 2024 at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford, the band quickly built a reputation for mature songwriting and powerful live performances well beyond their years.

​

With five singles already released and a self-produced debut album set for April 2026, Cold July are rapidly gaining attention for their captivating songs, rich harmonies and electrifying live shows.
