Jejune was an American emo band formed in 1996 at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
[1] The three founding members, Arabella Harrison (bass/vocals), Joe Guevara (guitar/vocals) and Chris Vanacore (drums), met while studying at Berklee.
Vanacore tagged along with Jimmy Eat World as a roadie on the tour after the split's release as Jejune made their move down to San Diego.
[4] The mixed responses often came from the fact that the album was considered emo at a time when the word had a negative connotation.
After that, Murino and Vanacore formed Dirty Sweet, while Guevara began playing piano for blues artist Lady Dottie.
This Afternoon's Malady marked a notable departure from their more indie rock leanings on their debut and saw them lead towards more of a dream pop sound.
[7] Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional in 2018 named Jejune and Rainer Maria as "two of his favorite bands".
