June is comprised of members Mark Sutor, Tim Brennan, Mark Palacz, and AJ Brown, who “basically started the band as a joke”, says Sutor, “and realized we had a pretty good thing going.” After recording an early four-song demo, June started playing around the local Chicago scene and effectively built a loyal following. This so-called “joke band” really caught on and word of mouth spread. The band independently released The June EP in mid-summer of 2004 and began to attract very serious label attention without having much of a tour history outside of local Chicago shows, opening for likeminded locals Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is…. When their deal with Victory Records came through, they immediately began planning their first album, If You Speak Any Faster.

Touring is the essential element for all young bands and June are no exception – they have shared stages with the likes of Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy and The Format in the last year. Expect to see them on the road non-stop in the months to come. They will celebrate the release of If You Speak Any Faster at the legendary Chicago rock venue, Metro on September 3rd, joined by label mates The Junior Varsity and theAudition. The album is eagerly anticipated by fans of rock, pop and emo: all signs point to huge success for this young band. June follows in the footsteps of great Chicago rock legends, but they will leave their own footprints on the scene with their debut album.
