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, 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.

The Screaming Trees are considered to be one of the godfathers of Grunge. Although they were one of the best ‘Seattle-bands’ of the early nineties, they never achieved the commercial success of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Founded in 1985, the band had to wait till 1992 for their biggest success, the release of Sweet Oblivion. The song Nearly Lost You became the Screaming Trees’ biggest hit after being featured on the soundtrack of the movie Singles. Lead singer Mark Lanegan started a very successful solo career after the Screaming Trees, working with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Greg Dulli (Afghan Wigs), Isobel Campbell (Belle and Sebastian) and Unkle.
