Lafayette-based band June IND took a new approach on its latest album, recording songs from the past decade as fresh instrumentals. “There Are No Words” – titled appropriately enough – came out Friday on the streaming sites, with proceeds from sales through Bandcamp going to Pride Lafayette through June.
On the first Friday of every month from March 2020 through December 2021 (and then some more in 2022), Bandcamp waived its revenue share to support artists. June IND passed the value on to Greater Lafayette area organizations addressing issues related to arts access, diversity, education, the environment, equality, homelessness, human rights, hunger and social justice. Bandcamp Fridays may be over, but June IND will continue these efforts through July 2022.
For June 3, 2022, June IND’s Bandcamp Friday sales will support Pride Lafayette for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month. Grab or gift June IND’s music today to support Pride Lafayette’s mission to educate and promote awareness of diversity, health, culture and acceptance of individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Lafayette, Indiana rock band June IND is scheduled to release There Are No Words on Friday, June 3. The thirteen-track compilation album of instrumental mixes will be available on Bandcamp and all music streaming platforms.
“Music-wise, it will be familiar to our folks,” says June IND percussionist Emily Larimer. “It’s a great showcase of the work we’ve put in crafting music for our songs; layering instruments and melodies. The songs sound cool with vocals, but they hold their own without them too. We hope this effort gives listeners a new perspective.”
The visual component of There Are No Words should also be familiar, collaboration-wise.
June IND partnered with mixed media artist Brandon Ahnert to develop album art and new merch. A photograph of Ahnert’s Heart Horse appears on the cover of There Are No Words. New merch including a 2D Heart Horse logo will be available soon on the NOISEtrends store.
“Whether he’s the visual to our music or we’re the soundtrack to his art, it’s always great to work with Brandon,” says guitarist Chris June. “He gets us and we’re big fans of his work.”
Get ready for release day:
