I apoligize to whomever sent me this I seem to have lost the email so I can't tell if the band sent me this themselves or one of my buds did, not that it matters coz I went to the band's website and find them all in favor of thier music being shared in order to gain exposure.....my kind of people and if you prefer you can go to thier site yourself and download the album for free, but I am at lleast impressed enough to share it here.
From Charleston South Carolina comes Marytre, whose album is entitled "Merry Tree" which is the preferred pronunciation of thier name. They consist of guitarist/singer James George, guitarist Aaron Pugh, bassist Raymond Baskins and drummer David Dietze. One thing we can all certainly agree on is these guys LOVE some Nirvana, which, really, what's wrong with that?
Thier sound is totally Nirvana influenced, from the song lengths (5-7 minutes generally), the dark lyrics ("Mary" is about a suicide), the song structures (similar to Nirvana's trademarked slow/fast-quiet/loud dynamic).....the singer is not exactlly Kurt Cobain, but he tries hard, and the musicianship is really first-rate, provided you like Nirvana.
Give this a listen and let me know what you think, and I ALWAYS enjoy recieving stuff from bands who actually WANT other people to hear it, rather than the converse, ie bands that take the confused stance that they don't want anyone to hear thier stuff....chances are unless it soesn't fit the form here, I will happily post anything to help any up and comers.MERRY TREE-01 Don't Ask Me How/02 Creep/03 Infidel/04 Mary/05 Trigger Happy/06 Polar/07 Question the Answer/08 Fall With Me
