"You may not hear a June Brides song for years on end, but some stay with you forever. For singer Phil Wilson had a way with words. His finest moment may be 'This Town'. It haunted me on balmy summer nights getting the last bus home from Woolwich when Nazi skins still roamed the streets. 'Every
Conversation' came close because it demonstrated the vision to leap in
a new chaotically rhythmic direction, always sounded on the point of collapse,
and sounded all the better for it." "It's
about time! In
this current climate of depressed and depressing
music, where the word "pop" has become synonymous with drab grey colourless
tinsel-town glamour children making three minute worthless video exercises
in how low modern music can sink, the June Brides produce an eight track
mini-album to blast away the dullness. They sav(i)our pop for the side
of COLOUR! LAUGHTER! JOY! with their spiky sublime intoxicating tunes:
following that long and luminary lineage of Buzzcocks, Subway Sect, Fire
Engines et al down the cottage way....For its sense of vision alone, this
must be the most essential album released in the last two years. The choice
is yours" "I
care about music
and what really fucking annoys me is seeing
so many people viewing music solely as a business venture. It cripples
talent and I'll give you an example that proves it. If the June Brides'
single "Every Conversation" was produced properly and put out on a major
and plugged, it would be number one, because that record is a classic
pop song! It's a sin when a record like that sells 700 copies. What sort
of fucking state of affairs is it when talent like that is totally ignored?
That's not whining. That's the music business." June
