Screaming Trees

Real Name:
Van Conner, Gary Lee Conner, Mark Lanegan & Barrett Martin
Profile:
This was quite a unique band that came from the whole Seattle "grunge" scene. Unlike most of the other bands that made it big, this band never quite made it. Their sound was more psychedelic, garage-rock, and 70s hard rock influenced which made them stand out amongst their peers.

They started out on SST Records until 1989 when they made the major label shift to Epic Records. Their major label debut, Uncle Anesthesia, was released around the same time the 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 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.
