History
Julia Brown began in early 2013 after the break up of the band Teen Suicide, with the release of their debut studio album to be close to you via Birdtapes.[1][2] They would feature on a split with Modern Baseball and Old Grey the same year and toured throughout the year until their last concert in October, and the band fell inactive as Sam and Torts reformed Teen Suicide with J2 on guitar soon after.
In 2014, Julia Brown released their second studio album independently (and on Joy Void Recordings in 2016), titled An Abundance of Strawberries.[3][4][5][6]
In 2018, a compilation titled 'An Abundance of BSides & Shit' was released on the group's Bandcamp page.
