Phil Wilson & The June Brides were a great English indie pop band from the mid 80â€™s. They were championed by John Peel, and Morrissey (who rated them his favorite group of 1985), as well journalists Everett True, and Dave Eggers.Â In fact, theyâ€™re still name dropped by likes of Belle & Sebastian, Primal Scream as well as the Manic Street Preachers, and Television Personalities, both of which have contributed songs to a June Brides tribute album in 2006.
