Music like June Divided

Melissa Menago is an American singer and songwriter who sings lead vocals for the band June Divided.

The band started with a college graduation and an economic recession. To keep sane during a slow post-graduation job hunt, Melissa Menago (vocals/guitar) and Chris Kissel (guitar) picked up on where they left off with a college music project. On a whim (and somewhat of a joke), they turned to Craigslist for a drummer, not expecting to find Keith Gill, who had been searching the Philadelphia area for a band, and who lived near them. They released their first EP, The Other Side of You in February 2011.

Their college peer, Lenny Sasso, stepped in as manager and also became their bass player. They released their first album, Backbone, in 2012. The release of Backbone played a significant part in the band's successful tour. Whether it be on Warped Tour, independent national tours, or local shows, the album's sales have enabled the band to function independently.
