About the Artist
Well hey there, thanks for checking us out! If you’ve been following us already, you probably know that we’re not a serious-bio kinda band. Because you know what they say: if you ever take life to serious, you might not get out alive…Funny that we say that because some of the material on our new album, Backbone, is actually quite serious. After a year and a half in the industry, the band had a lot of things we wanted to say. We’ve taken risks, made bold moves and pushed ourselves pretty far. But we couldn’t be happier and so there’s a lot of fun in our music as well. I guess that kinda explains who June Divided is in a nut-shell. We’re serious about what we do, but we’re having a blast doing it.
Backbone is our first full-length album and we spent every penny and every minute we had on making it. We spent 4 (very intense) weeks in Soundmine Recording Studios with producer Alec Henninger to record it and it’s something we’re really proud of. So it would make our day if you would check it out here:

We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Come see us at a show sometime :)
Love,
Melissa, Chris, Keith and Lenny
