Josh Ballard, Dan Ballard, Chris Foley, and Justin Turley self-produced and released several EPs and played many shows in the Hollywood area, under the name "Juune". To get the attention of major labels, they "[hopped] the fence at Capitol Records and put flyers on cars" said Josh Ballard. They set a deadline of being signed by June 2005 or they would break up. In the Spring of 2004, drummer Justin Turley left the band to move closer to his family in Texas, and he was replaced by Jamie Pitts. Juune continued to self-produce and release EPs and label interest began growing in late 2004. In the Spring of 2005, as Juune was in the early stages of negotiating with several labels, Chris Foley left the band to get married, and Jamie Pitts left to continue pursuing his academic goals. Daniel Dempsey joined the band shortly thereafter. In August 2005, Juune signed with Flicker Records of the Sony BMG's Provident Label Group. Due to legal concerns, the name Juune was changed to Until June after their original deadline. Their self-titled debut LP, featuring Josh on keyboards and vocals, Dan on guitar, Daniel on drums, and Chris Foley on bass, was released in March 2006. Their debut album, Until June, was produced by Brian Garcia (Our Lady Peace, Kelly Clarkson, King’s X, and was released on April 17, 2007. The band's first international success was in Greece when the single "Sleepless" topped the radio charts on May 8, 2008. In late 2008, the band left Flicker to sign with Authentik Artists.
