Short lived Adelaide band around from 1984-1986. July 14th was put together by Terry Bradford, and the core members were Terry, Rod Ling and Robyn Habel with Tom Cowsill, Andrew Mills, Roy Ezinger and Brett Spilsbury joining at different stages. The name July 14 was made up from the birth date of three of the band members. The group's first single "Me and My Gun" released on the Greasy Pop label did very well nationally and internationally. The release of the album 'Australian Bite' was greatly anticipated and in the book, SA Great It's Our Music 1956-1986, the album is described as '...an exciting performance record...highlighted the virtuoso talent of guitarist Rod Ling in the rich, crafted songs from the pen of Terry Bradford'. The group was commissioned to provide the tracks for two documentaries, the first for the ABC titled Searching for Women's History a three-part documentary which was broadcast on national television. The second project was a US documentary on the Zanoni shipwreck off of Port Lincoln. Before their second album 'Till We Meet Again' released in 1988 drummer Andrew Mills replaced Tom Cowsill.
