Artist History David started out in 1993 as a singer in a high school band of friends. For the other members, this band was merely a side project, so all their newly written songs went to other bands. Frustrated, David taught himself to play guitar, and was writing lame ass 2 chord pop songs in less than a year. As time moved on, that band dissolved,and David was able to figure out what exactly it was he wanted to do with music. He opted to follow his love of a good melody and write music within the less radio friendly "mope rock" genre. This trend has continued for over 6 years. As of 2001, David is still not in a band, but recorded his first cd, "A Bittersweet Season Of Lament," with high school friend Joshua Holland. Originally intended as a "scrapbook" of sorts, the cd began gaining some decent feedback from people who happened to hear it. Now, David waits for other musicians who want to bring his brand of music to life.

Press Reviews "There's a lot of noise in our daily lives. The neighbors yapping mutt. That idiot on the cell phone at the restaurant. The teenager with the bass pumping so loud, his car is bouncing down the street. When you've had enough noise, but want to listen to rock music with a floating, relaxing quality, check out the Vancouver, Washington band, 12 Days In June. Influenced by "shoe-gazer" artists such as Ride or Catherine Wheel and modern mope-rock bands like the Red House Painters, 12 Days In June provide a cleansing wash of subtle guitar rhythms and vocal melodies. "Caroline," a slow and slightly haunting song, begins with a rhythm guitar that sounds as if it were lifted from Ride's excellent first album, Nowhere. The similarities end there, as the song cruises along at a moderate tempo and never really challenges the listener with rhythmic or melodic changes. The percussion is solid, and an almost subliminal layer of guitar noodling lies just beneath the surface. The lilting vocals are intended to fit in as another instrument, and blend in with the mix rather than standing out as a focal point. The band takes a similar track with "Dissolve." This time the song begins with a strummed acoustic guitar, then the layered electric guitar and percussion melt into the mix. "Paint" relies on an ethereal electric guitar melody to propel the tune along. The vocals are well back in the mix, and the song flutters along without calling attention to itself. Which is part of the problem with this music - there isn't much here that sticks with you once it's over. 12 Days In June seems capable of creating a more invigorating brand of music, but are happy to create music that blends into the background. The use of more rhythmic and melodic changes within the structure of the songs might make the music more memorable. But then it would be distracting instead of relaxing." -- Doug Cornell, Hitsession.com
