Just Penelope’s Bloomington roots and debut-era releases

Just Penelope is a Bloomington, Indiana indie rock trio made up of college students Ella Curiel, Ethan Cantrell, and Drew Goforth. The group formed at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music and first came to attention through the debut single June, July, which was released with a music video and introduced alongside their signing to Angel Tapes. Later releases include Feel So and the Fire Talk album Sister. The available sources place the band in alternative and indie territory while also describing a broader blend of styles. Their public writeups and interview answers frame the project around honesty, risk-taking, and a fast-growing run of songs.
