The June Brides - This Town EP [ITTI 030 UK 1986 24-Bit FLAC] Another new rip of an old In Tape favourite.... The June Brides ended their career on the Manchester label - further proof that the lack of singing ability to should never stop anybody fronting a band (though I've always wished Bobby Gillespie and Tim Burgess hadn't). The Phil Wilson fronted June Brides did well to avoid the C86 tag, probably because they were from unfashionable London and not Manchester or Glasgow. History says they declined to contribute to the infamous NME cassette tape compilation which launched a genre. Very few bands successfully incorporated the trumpet into indie-pop, and with a unique charm, The June Brides did it very well. No track better encapsulates The June Brides sound, than Just The Same . A1 This Town B1 Cold B2 Just The Same
