Death In June - NADA! (1985)


Death In June are an English neo-folk/post-punk band.  For some reason this record is really hard to find even on the interwebs, so I'm a little scared of posting it (the internet police are everywhere).  This band is controversial for their use of Nazi imagery.  I wouldn't get too worked up about it.  The lead singer is openly homosexual and they've collaborated with various ethnic Jews throughout their long history, they've also played in Israel and sported an Israeli flag on their webpage.
Much has been made of the origins of the name Death in June. It is sometimes considered to be an allusion to the Night of the Long Knives Sturmabteilung purge on June 30, 1934, or alternately to the 1914 assassination in Sarajevo that helped spark World War I. However, "Death in June" is actually a mondegreen, Pearce has said that he once misheard Patrick Leagas during a rehearsal and he "heard" it as "Death in June" and settled upon this chance mishearing. The group then subsequently applied it to the project in 1981. Pearce has stated that the name does not express any single idea for him and remains multifaceted [1].
