June of 44 was an American rock band which was formed in 1994 from ex-members of Rodan, Lungfish, Codeine and Hoover (Sean Meadows had yet to participate in the Lungfish music band by 1994; his first album with them was actually in 1996). Clearly influenced by Slint, the band’s music is often described as post-rock. June of 44 released their work on Quarter Stick with the exception of Fish 6.
June of 44 split up in 2000.

Actually, Yikko's link is pretty sick - awesome band he posted. Love Jo44, but as someone who was too young to see them live, I agree with his sentiment.

@jamesismynamo "The band's name was inspired by a variety of factors, chiefly the date of correspondence between erotic fiction writers Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin; the month also coincided with the birth of Mueller's mother and the military service of Meadows' grandfather." - http://www.allmusic.com/artist/june-of-44-p168496/biography

Did they get their name from the month of D-Day or something?

i didn't bother listening for so long because of all the slint comparisons. i figured, 'why listen to ANOTHER slint when slint is already perfect.' huge mistake, this band rules so much.

I just don't get the Slint comparisons. Later Jo44 albums move into dubby, jazzy sounds while the earlier ones seem like a natural progression from and combination of the long-form approaches to hardcore taken by Rodan and Hoover. There is Slint insofar as they care about dynamics and texture, but that is not enough to say that Jo44 are just Slint copycats (albeit good ones). Codeine cared about all that stuff too.

This is so Slint. But not bad copycats. The dirth of Slint material means I wouldn't mind listening to these guys. But Slint > June of 44 any fuckin day.

Many bands have been great. Few of them as great as June of 44. I'm hopeful that one day they will reunite and play ATP.
