June was an American indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, consisting of:
- Kat Cook - vocals
- John Price - guitar
- Tricia Tuttle - guitar and vocals
- Andy Magowan - bass guitar, violin
- Mathew Gross - drums (1992–1994)
- John Howie Jr. - drums (1995–1996)
They were active in Chapel Hill from 1992 to 1996, playing "moody, highly literate guitar-pop" with a "pretty but not wispy" sound. The band released three singles (one of them produced by Mitch Easter) and became the subject of a minor bidding war before signing to Beggars Banquet in 1995. Their first album, I Am Beautiful, was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and released in spring 1996. The band broke up in August 1996, after a final live performance that month at an all-day music festival held at Durham Athletic Park.
