A tribute album to a legendary band becomes a time capsule of '90s underground music, and preserves one caterpillar an instant before it transformed into a mammoth butterfly.
Mark Langen Band Blues Funeral 4AD 06 February 2012 by Jon Kerr The history of rock and blues have been so mixed and muddied together over the course of history that attempting to pick apart their various genomes and how they all interact with each other is almost a failed endeavour from the start. Now that the former Screaming Trees vocalist, Mark Lanegan , has somewhat audaciously thrown disco into the mix as well with his new album, we're even less sure [...]

[ In this episode of The Hush Now 's Memos Tour Diary, bassist Patrick MacDonald recounts the Boston-based indie rock quintet's assaults on Chicago and Minneapolis, storied American rock and roll cities each one. MacDonald's account of communing with the Gods of the Upper Midwest independent rock scene in particular brings a smile to our face. THN is taking the long way around, touring a large swath of the U.S. over the next couple weeks en route to a hotly anticipated homecoming show at Precinct in Somerville, Mass.

Let us beat past the arduous task of re-explaining everything we've mouthed on at great length about here , here , and here . With numerous members of our staff pushing 30, it's no surprise that we have such a loyal early-902s fan base amongst us. We were likely born in a cloud of Aqua Net, only to be raised by ravaging alt-rock wolfpacks, and we're goddamned proud of it! For those 702s alumni out there who could stage dive at Alice Cooper with the best of 'em... stop pickin' on me or I'll use my Wayne [...]
I recently had the privilege of talking with Barrett Martin, the former drummer for the Screaming Trees who has issued the Trees' Last Words: The Final Recordings on his own Sunyata label . In addition to being available for download at the usual places, Sunyata is currently taking pre-orders for the CD. If you pre-order from Sunyata, you'll get the CD in September, a month before the street date. Barrett was driving into Sacramento while we chatted, and I was impressed by his ability to discourse intelligently about music while doing something else. [...]
I just had a great chat with Barrett Martin about the Screaming Trees new release, Last Words: The Final Recordings and other topics. I'll post the interview here soon. In the meantime, I wanted to pass along word that the CD is now available for pre-order from Barrett's label, Sunyata Records. If you pre-order from Sunyata you'll get the shiny silver disc in your hands a month before street date and be the coolest kid on your block.
Both interviews with Mark Wilkinson and Tony Iommi are now available on DrownedInSound, as is my review of the "new" Screaming Trees album . I'm submitting my reviews for the Pure X album, and the most recent Drugstore release (trailed below) soon, and that'll be me for a while in terms of reviews. I'm hoping to concentrate on and improve my live music photography, and am hoping to push that along for the end of the year. In the meantime here are two portfolio sets. The first is a Hevy set [...]
The Screaming Trees have a "new" album out. Last Words: The Final Recordings documents some recently mixed demos that the band recorded in 2000 while looking for a new record deal. That new deal never materialized, the band broke up, and the recordings sat on the shelf for eleven years until former Trees drummer Barrett Martin and producer Jack Endino mixed the songs this year. Martin has released the album through his own Sunyata Records label. At the moment the album is only available as a digital download, but CD and LP releases are [...]

I'm happy to confess that back in the day I liked my fair share of grunge. The undisputed kings of the genre, for me anyway, were Screaming Trees. You take Gary Lee Conner's screaming guitar solos and big riffs, Barrett Martin's crashing cymbals, and top it off with Mark Lanegan's throaty yelp, and it made a magical combination for a 16 year old kid. A decade after the band broke up there's an
