Artist Biography by Gina Boldman
The Halifax punk-pop quartet Plumtree
were formed in 1993 by Amanda Braden (vocals, guitar), Nina Martin
(bass), and sisters Carla and Lynette Gillis (guitar and drums,
respectively); all four girls were in their mid-teens at the time. They
released several singles and recorded a full-length album, Mass Teen Fainting (the album title was taken from the liner notes of a Bay City Rollers album). Despite the bandmembers' varied musical tastes -- which ranged from blues and R&B to heavy metal and new wave -- Plumtree's
cohesive and decidedly punk sound garnered a music achievement award
from Canada's YTV in 1996. In September of that year, Martin left the
band to go to school; she was replaced by Catriona Sturton. One year
later, Plumtree released Predicts the Future,
which hit the top of the Canadian college radio chart -- and whose
second track, "Scott Pilgrim," later inspired a successful graphic novel
series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Third album This Day Won't Last at All followed in 2000, although the band said farewell by July of that year.
