The June Brides

The June Brides have always been regarded as pioneers, and one of the most beloved of the bands that formed the original UK independent music scene, which has since been tagged as C86. The band first formed in South East London in 1983. After a short phase playing local venues, they soon went on to release five singles/EPs and one LP, There Are Eight Million Stories, which reached Number 1 in the UK Independent Albums Chart for a month, remaining in the charts for a total of 38 weeks.
