OUT TODAY, SEPTEMBER 6 ON FRENCHKISS RECORDS
WORLD TOUR STARTS TONIGHT; US DATES KICK OFF OCTOBER 14
Today, New Zealand’s [i.e not in the NZ one] Miss June release their debut album, Bad Luck Party, via Frenchkiss Records. Raised in the embers of punk rock and described as “some unholy union between Sonic Youth and Le Tigre,” the Auckland four piece harness jagged, noisy guitars filtered through the unrivalled stage presence of Amanda Liddell, guitarist Jun Park, bass player Chris Marshall and drummer Tom Leggett.
Miss June has spent 2019 giving audiences both stateside and abroad a taste of the live show and tonight marks the start of the band’s world-wide Bad Luck Party Tour. On October 14 they kick off the North American run with a show at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade. The band will also play shows in Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles. All dates are listed below. Tickets and more tour info can be found here.
Combining elements of post-punk, no-wave and rock, Miss June hold close their DIY roots while creating a blistering, reckless sound full of melodic hooks and overdriven riffs that are at once immediately recognizable and yet entirely their own.

"a nod back at a pantheon of powerful statements and sounds... calibrated for 2019 ears craving a clever, irresistible outlet." - NY TIMES
"bolstered, anthemic pop-punk jam for the next generation” - Consequence of Sound
"Packed with blistering guitars and an abrasive attitude, ["Enemies"] gives their post-punk vigor a revamped, no-wave finish and will make you want to reevaluate who your friends really are." - Alternative Press
"New Zealand’s Miss June make catchy, punky alternative rock," - Brooklyn Vegan
"Honestly, I’m not sure I can remember a song recently that rocks and melts faces as much as this one. It’s under 3 minutes long and doesn’t let up in its intensity for one second." - Austin Town Hall on “Enemies”
“a creative forward thinking piece of punk music… this band are brilliant.” - BBC Radio 1
“('Enemies' is)a big step forward for Miss June and a determined signal of intent ahead of their debut” with front person Annabel Liddell “in prime form, destabilising not just in her performance but her lyrics.”
- Line Of Best Fit
"New Zealand punks offer up 30 minutes of tightly coiled rage... (Annabel Liddell is) ferocious... like the demented love child of Thurston Moore and Kathleen Hanna." - Uncut
“If you enjoy the grungy yet gnarly sweetness of Wolf Alice, and also fancy a side of Sonic Youth (attacked with a chainsaw, in a good way), you’ll love this.” - Classic Rock Magazine
