Plumtree (now defunct) is a quartet from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Formed in 1993 when the sisters Gillis met up with Amanda Braden, Plumtree quickly established themselves as one of the more original young bands in Canada. With the addition of Catriona Sturton on bass, the band quickly developed a highly collaborative songwriting method which combined catchy melodies, a serious approach to writing music and solid instrumentation to produce the group's finest material to date.
Attracting attention when they were still in their mid-teens, Plumtree appeared on several compilation cds, released several 7" records, the flutterboard ep, the mass teen fainting cd, their most recent cd, plumtree predicts the future and 4 videos, for the most part on Halifax's Cinnamon Toast label (jale, rebecca west, etc). All the group's releases received excellent press and campus radio with predicts the future holding the number 1 spot on Canadian Campus Radio for 4 weeks.

Plumtree's final and best CD
author: NiGHTS
"This Day Won't Last at All" is the album that first introduced me to Plumtree. Unfortunately, this was their final album before the group broke-up. In terms of musical composition, this is by far their most complex release, and recognized as their best album. My only real complaint with this CD is that it has more slower tempo songs than any of their previous releases. This CD represents a huge step in the maturity of Plumtree, and thus the lyrics have a much more contemplative feel to them. In some ways this is a good thing, but it also means that there are no more of the crazy songs found on their debut CD (get "Mass Teen Fainting" by Plumtree and listen to the difference for yourself). If you're not sure if you will like the album, you can listen to the all of the songs in 128Kbps MP3 at newmusiccanada.com (no silly rabbit, you can't download the MP3s there).
It's too bad that the band broke-up just when they were starting to put together some solid songs. FYI - 2 of the members of Plumtree went on to form a new group called "Bontempi" - however, Bontempi's music is quite different from Plumtree...but still something to check out if you must own everything Plumtree related.
