June Divided is one of those stories where everything just falls into place. Whether<br />

you believe in coincidences or destiny, there is something undeniably special about<br />

how the past 3 years have unfolded for the Philadelphia rockers. What started as a<br />

college project for lead singer/guitarist Melissa Menago <strong>and</strong> guitarist Chris Kissel<br />

has evolved into quite a journey that has found international success. With the<br />

release of their EP "<strong>The</strong> Other Side of You" in 2011 <strong>and</strong> full length "Backbone" in<br />

2012, June Divided has released 2 music videos on MTV, mtvU, MTV Buzzworthy,<br />

MTV Hits Latin America, <strong>and</strong> VH1 Mega Hits Latin America. <strong>The</strong>y saw commercial<br />

radio success with their single "Secrets" <strong>and</strong> found themselves on Vans Warped<br />

Tour, performing during SXSW, Summerfest (Milwaukee), Florida Music Festival,<br />

Canadian Music Festival, independent national tours, <strong>and</strong> many other regional<br />

festivals.<br />

As June Divided enters <strong>2014</strong>, they've got some big things on their plate, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

game-changing plan. As they prepare for their next record, their sound is evolving.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir new songs are shaping into something wildly different, fresh, <strong>and</strong> exciting, <strong>and</strong><br />

their already energetic live show is being aken to new heights. Expect to see June<br />

Divided in the studio <strong>and</strong> on the road soon!<br />
