The June Brides are an English indie pop group, formed in London in 1983, by Phil Wilson and Simon Beesley of International Rescue.
[1] Two Joe Foster-produced 1984 singles on The Pink Label, "In The Rain" and "Every Conversation" saw The June Brides receive much attention,[2] and these two songs appeared frequently on compilation albums from that era.
A year later, the mini-album There Are Eight Million Stories... appeared (produced by John O'Neill of That Petrol Emotion)[2] and went straight to number one in the UK Indie Chart, staying there for a month.
Disillusioned with Pink, the band moved to Marc Riley's In-Tape label for two further singles - "No Place Like Home" and "This Town"[2] and, in 1986, opened for The Smiths on their Irish tour dates.
On 23 January 2009, Phil Wilson, Simon Beesley, Jon Hunter and Frank Sweeney reformed The June Brides for a one off show at The Others, Stoke Newington, London.
