History

The band formed in 2002 under the name Drive Like June for the purpose of playing local shows in Chicago, and they later changed their name to June for legal reasons and self-released a demo EP in 2004. In 2005, the band signed with then Chicago based manager Lucas Keller and Victory Records, releasing If You Speak Any Faster with hit single "Patrick" in August of that year and touring widely across the United States.[1] The group's second album for Victory was released on August 7, 2007, entitled Make It Blur. On February 3, 2008, June went on an indefinite hiatus. They explained that "we just all feel we need to change something."[2] The band's last show was on April 12, 2008 at Metro Chicago with Powerspace and Halos.[3]
