June was an American indie rock ensemble originating from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
History
Formed in 1992 and remaining active until 1996, June was known for delivering "moody, intellectually rich guitar-pop" characterized by a "delicate yet substantial" tone. The group issued three singles, one of which was produced by Mitch Easter, and garnered some industry interest that led to a brief bidding competition before ultimately signing with Beggars Banquet in 1995. Their first full-length album, I Am Beautiful, was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and released in the spring of 1996. The band concluded their activities in August 1996 after performing their final show at a music festival held at Durham Athletic Park.
