Influential Seattle band that began with raw neo-psychedelia but evolved 

into one of the marquee outfits of the 1990s grunge movement.

Where many of their Seattle-based contemporaries dealt in reconstructed Black Sabbath 

and Stooges riffs, Screaming Trees fused '60s psychedelia and garage rock 

with '70s hard rock and '80s punk. Over the course of their career, their more 

abrasive punk roots eventually gave way to a hard-edged, rootsy psychedelia 

that drew from rock and folk equally. After releasing several albums on indie 

labels like SST and Sub Pop, Screaming Trees moved to Epic Records in 1989. 

Though they were one of the first Seattle bands to sign with a major label, 

the group never attained the popularity of fellow Northwestern bands (and friends) 

like Nirvana and Soundgarden, largely due to their erratic work schedule

By essentially "repeating the language of the land and the sky," the Screaming Trees 

accurately portray the organic spirit of the Pacific Northwest. On tracks such as 

"Cold Rain" and "In the Forest" their narrative landscapes are not only expressed 

by the seasoned voice of Mark Lanegan but also by the rich complexity of their 

song structures. While drummer Mark Pickerel and guitarists Gary Lee and 

Van Conner provide the energy of a classic garage band, producer Steve Fisk 

molds their groundwork and pop sensibilities into the realms of proto-grunge. 

Along with fellow SST labelmates Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., 

the Screaming Trees served as true pioneers of the burgeoning genre. 

With distorted guitars and meaningful poetics becoming the norm of the late '80s, 

Even If and Especially When stands as a commendable album 

and a telling preview of what was to later come from the Seattle scene...(AllMusic)
