Buzz Factory

SCREAMING TREES - Buzz Factory In a world where grunge reigns supreme, the Screaming Trees have always been the underdog. With their latest offering, "Buzz Factory," they continue to carve out their own little niche in the murky waters of alternative rock. On first listen, it's clear that the Trees haven't strayed far from their signature sound.

Meanwhile, "Subtle Poison" takes a darker turn, with brooding lyrics and a haunting melody that lingers in the air like smoke from a bonfire. Overall, "Buzz Factory" may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a solid addition to the Screaming Trees' discography. With its raw energy and infectious melodies, this album is sure to please fans old and new alike.
