Plumtree

Plumtree is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden. Those roots explain a lot about how Plumtree arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sex Bob-Omb, Self, Camera Obscura, Rocketship and Stars, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Weakerthans, Eric's Trip, Julie Doiron and The Inbreds, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 18 connections around Plumtree, reaching back through Jimi Hendrix and forward to The Weakerthans.

Background

Plumtree was a Canadian indie rock/power pop band formed in 1993 in Halifax which consisted of sisters Carla and Lynette Gillis, Amanda Braden, Nina Martin, and later Catriona Sturton. The band achieved moderate success during their seven years of activity, completing several tours of Canada and parts of the U.S., as well as releasing three full-length albums, a six track EP, and various singles, before finally disbanding in June 2000. Their single "Scott Pilgrim" was the inspiration for the title character in the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
