East of June is all about the musicâno gimmicks, no chasing trends, just songs that feel right. What began as a chance connection between Emily Rath (vocals, keys) and Kyle Mortensen (guitars, bass, synths) turned into a creative partnership, later joined by drummer Sean Winchester (Everclear, Buckcherry, Smash Mouth).
Their latest single, "Dragon" (out March 7, 2025), is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and resilience. âItâs about awakening the fire within,â says Emily. Produced by Kyle and mixed by Grammy-nominated Eric Emery, the track takes a darker, more cinematic turn while staying true to the bandâs signature sound.
With over 18 singles and three EPs since 2019âincluding their rock-infused take on Billie Eilish's "Ocean Eyes" and the genre-blending "Golden Crown"âEast of June continues evolving, pushing boundaries, and making music that moves people. "Dragon" marks the start of an exciting new chapter.
