JTB IN PRESS
“Back to June Turns Black, I wouldn’t have expected Rach to have the power she has and to sing as aggressively as I’ve never heard before. She has outdone many men I’ve heard trying to do the same.” – Rock Monsters
“Their live show was exceptional, extremely professional; I can even say they sounded exactly as they do on the recording. From guitars and synths put on tracks to the precision with which those on stage performed. I particularly liked the fact that they brought a projector with visuals for the yet-to-be-released tracks where they projected the lyrics so the audience could sing along.” – The Interwission
“For those who grew up on a steady diet of screamo music, June Turns Black is a damn fresh breath of air.” – CVLTARTES
“There is power, calm, purpose, confidence, and direction. It’s really cool to see that from them!” – Oldskulenerd
“From the beginning of the concert, the hall was almost full, the atmosphere was accordingly, we danced, jumped, and sang. […] June Turns Black is very well anchored in the vocal part and the backing tracks caught our attention, observing a lot of work, attention, and dedication behind it.” – Sub_Radar
