Screaming Trees - Buzz Factory
Review by Samuel Caddick
Buzz Factory is an album that showcases the raw, gritty sound of Screaming Trees. Released in 1989, the album is a blend of grunge, punk and hard rock, and is considered to be one of the band's strongest releases.
The album opens with a bang with the track "Where the Twain Shall Meet", which features a heavy, driving bass line and powerful vocals from lead singer Mark Lanegan. The album also features standout tracks such as "Shadow of the Season", which is a slower, more introspective song that showcases the band's ability to craft a powerful ballad.
One of the strengths of Buzz Factory is the way in which the band blends different genres and influences to create a sound that is both unique and powerful. The album features elements of punk, hard rock, and even psychedelic rock, all wrapped up in a grunge package that feels fresh and exciting.

About Screaming Trees
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 , they were signed to where they released 3 albums (from 1987 to 1989) before making the jump to 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 continued his solo projects from there.
and were also involved in the side-project along with singer .

Summary by Samuel Caddick
Comments
The album that convinced me of the importance of the alternative rock movement. This, to me, is one of the most important documents of the early invasion. Mark Lanegan was at the height of his powers. The song writing was fresh and energetic. Every song on this is a gem. Not as well known as Sweet Oblivion, but they never bettered this release. If you are looking for something real from the grunge scene, I can't recommend Buzz Factory high enough.
thanks for posting love the trees
Rip mark...
for all the talent in the band Van Conner is absolutely underrated as the bass master he is. his parts are always perfect, subtle, inventive and solid as rock. big heavy rock. mountainous rock.
thank you for the share, Gary Lee!
Just got Buzz Factory. This tune is gold, mood-altering. Cool video too.
These videos are very calming yet sad.
