June IND planned for the Oct. 2, 2021 release of #HillsterHipbilly on streaming platforms, but…

June IND planned for the Oct. 2, 2021 release of #HillsterHipbilly on streaming platforms, but…

If you’ve been following June IND for a while, you know that not much went according to plan with the #HillsterHipbilly EP. If you haven’t, most of that is documented here.

Fires, tornados, etc. be damned, the Lafayette, Indiana rock band released #HillsterHipbilly on CD on Oct. 2, 2015.

Fast forward: some things never change, including a plan for the EP’s 6th anniversary release on streaming platforms.

On the other hand, maybe the current hiccup is a good problem to have…

SURPRISE, it’s out early! 🎉🥳🎉

Today’s Memory Stash: Dan Precision mixes June IND’s “My Rx”

June-IND-MyRx-mix-session-Dan-Precision

Mix session from June IND’s song “My Rx” by Dan Precision at The Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago

On this day, June 30, 2015, Dan Precision was mixing “My Rx,” a brooding, grinding rock song (à la Alice in Chains and Chevelle) that serves as the lead-off track to June IND’s #HillsterHipbilly EP.

Appropriately referred to as a “three-year-minefield,” the Hipbilly effort invokes memories of personal and professional strife among the group along with strong feelings of accomplishment regarding the EP’s eventual completion and release.
