Cold July are an award-winning band from Guildford, Surrey, crafting timeless, harmony-driven indie-folk alt-pop with classic singer-songwriter roots. In January 2026, they were crowned ‘Best Indie Act’ at the Radio Wigwam Awards in London and placed 3rd for ‘Best Breakthrough Artist’.

With a male/female co-lead dynamic and rich three-part harmonies, their sound nods to Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac while blending the melodic craft of Crowded House and the harmony-drenched indie-folk feel of Flyte, delivered with a fresh indie-pop energy.

Formed in May 2024 at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford, the 18-year-old band have released four singles, with a self-produced debut album due Spring 2026. Mature beyond their years, they are quickly building a reputation for standout songwriting and captivating live shows.
