John June Year is an independent rock band based in the Midwest that combine the sounds of influences like the Velvet Underground, the Strokes, and the Arctic Monkeys to create something new and wholly their own. Formed during the summer of 2012, the band has quickly progressed into a talented group of young musicians that place songwriting at the core of their focus.

In the span of just three tracks, the band hops from a euphoric summer anthem "Hollywood", to a listless and slowly unfurling daze of a track with "Wish to Sell" to the smoldering, propulsive, and repetitive deep-groove with not-so-subtle synth hooks in "Best Dressed Mess". Equally indebted to the Cars and the garage rock revival of the early 2000's John June Year puts a fresh tilt on pop jams, rock and roll, and contemporary indie music.
