Review by Dom Gourlay

Led by the inimitable songwriting talent of Phil Wilson, The June Brides actually took the post-punk blueprint of Orange Juice one step further and mixed it with the sarcastic lyrical wit of The Smiths, sounding unlike anyone else from that era but without any shadow of a doubt laying the foundations for people like Belle And Sebastian to take the bedroom-indie sound into chartered, commercially successful territories.»
