Artist Biography by Eduardo Rivadavia

Singer/guitarist Ben McMillan began his career as the frontman for seminal Seattle grunge band Skin Yard, which cranked out four albums during his six-year tenure, and included future- producer and alternative rock linchpin Jack Endino (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, et al.) on guitar. In 1990, he drafted ex-Skin Yard drummer Norman Scott, guitarist Tom Niemeyer, and bassist Tim Paul to form Gruntruck. The band's sound treaded much of the same post-punk/metal hybrid which was then common to the Seattle scene, and their counterpoint guitars and minor chords were especially reminiscent of Soundgarden. As such, signing with straight-ahead metal label Roadrunner may have been a strategic mistake, as both 1991's Inside Yours and 1992's Push seemed to get lost in the shuffle of the alternative explosion, and the band split soon after.

SCREAMING TREES Sweet Oblivion 1992

 

Discogs

Rock band formed in 1984 in Ellensburg, Washington, USA. Screaming Trees was a unique voice in the Pacific Northwest "grunge" scene. Their sound was more psychedelic, garage-rock, and '70s hard rock influenced which made them stand out amongst their peers. After a couple independent releases on local Velvetone Records (2), they were signed to SST Records where they released 3 albums (from 1987 to 1989) before making the jump to Epic Records in 1990. Their Epic debut "Uncle Anesthesia" was released around the same time as major label debuts from Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains hit the stores... but Screaming Trees didn't have their first hit until their second Epic album "Sweet Oblivion" came out and their first single from that album appeared on the soundtrack for the movie "Singles". The band broke up in 2000, and Mark Lanegan continued his solo projects from there. Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin were also involved in the side-project Mad Season along with Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley.
