MISS JUNE SIGNS WITH FRENCHKISS RECORDS & REVEALS NEW SINGLE “BEST GIRL”

The latest export from New Zealand is coming to us by way of Auckland band Miss June.   Described as “some unholy union between Sonic Youth and Le Tigre,” the four piece harness jagged, noisy guitars filtered through the unrivalled stage presence of front-person Annabel Liddel, guitarist Jun Park, bass player Chris Marshall and drummer Tom Leggett.   Today the band share their newest single “Best Girl” which they note, “is an anthem for anyone who has been misled from birth, into battle for a spot that doesn’t exist.”  Listen to the track here via a video directed by Ch’lita Collins and shot in Auckland.
