Screaming Trees, the iconic American rock band that originated in Ellensburg, Washington in 1985, left an indelible mark on the music scene. Founded by the talented vocalist Mark Lanegan, the skilled guitarist Gary Lee Conner, the virtuoso bass player Van Conner, and the dynamic drummer Mark Pickerel, the band started their journey with a blend of unique talents. As they evolved, Barrett Martin took over the drumming duties during the band’s peak period, leading them to unparalleled success. While commonly classified under the grunge genre, Screaming Trees’ music transcended boundaries, weaving together elements of hard rock and psychedelia to create a distinctive sound that echoed through their seven studio albums, five EPs, and three compilations.
