History
The group initially formed in 2002 under the name Drive Like June, performing at various venues throughout Chicago. Due to legal complications, they abbreviated their name to June and independently issued a demo EP in 2004. During mid-2004, they embarked on a tour across the Southern United States and made their self-titled EP accessible for streaming on their official website by July. In October 2004, June secured a contract with Victory Records. Their debut album, If You Speak Any Faster, was released by Victory in August 2005, featuring the popular track "Patrick" and was followed by extensive touring across the US. Their sophomore album under Victory, Make It Blur, was released on August 7, 2007. On February 3, 2008, the band declared an indefinite hiatus, expressing a desire for change. Their concluding live show occurred on April 12, 2008 at Metro Chicago, where they performed alongside Powerspace and Halos.
