It is 2022, and the world is in chaos. A mere three years ago, all of our lives were radically different. It seems that over the past two years, everyone has experienced a heartbreak, a disconnection and a loss.
For the first time, people you know and dont know, around the world, have experienced a related and collective trauma. It is hard when everyone is suffering in one way or another. It seems like everyone is fighting one or another. It would be much better if we were all much nicer to each other, and as you know, that is not how things have been going.
This blog is for the people out there who know what pain and hurt and loneliness feels like and for all our friends, families, supporters and loved ones. I could not write a proper record review to save my life, but this aint a record review; this is about the true spirit, energy, and power of hardcore punk music. To all those reading these words, listen, we need each other, more now than ever. So while the words below may mean very little to you, when you listen to TREEs A Lot to Fear masterpiece, try to remember the way you felt as a kid, going to a punk show and feeling alive, free, safe and a part of something.
Tree
That power still exists today, and maybe, just maybe, the music that saved your life, or the music that saved my life; maybe that music, that power, that energy, that truth, that honesty and that love maybe just maybe that power of the pure punk rock spirit is what the world needs now.
I am at fault for having often been an elitist punk rock jerk.
When you are a kid and trying to find your way, you want to belong. Sometimes as an adult too.
Tree is a band that made it so anyone could belong.
Its been decades since I listened to Tree. In a recent eleven day period, I have listened to their A Lot to Fear album fifteen times.
My first exposure to Tree was when they played at the Channel in Boston, on some weeknight in 91. This was a huge club, with a very high stage, and while there were not so many people in attendance, they played with the intensity that thousands would deserve.
ð'ð'¢ð'ð' ð'-ð' ð'ð'ð'ð'¦ ð'¡ð'-ð'ð'"ð' ð'ð'ð'' ð'ð'ð''ð'' ð'ð''ð'¡ ð'¡ð'' ð'ð'ð'ð' ð'-ð' ð'ð'ð'ð'' ð'¤ð'ð'¦ð' ð'¡ð'ð' ð'¡ð''ð'¦ ð'¤ð''ð'ð'' ð''ð'£ð''ð' ð'"ð'-ð'£ð''ð' ð'ð'ð''ð''ð'-ð'¡ ð'"ð'ð'.
What matters to me is the right here, right now. It is my honor to pay tribute to a truly classic Boston Hardwood band.
So I suffer for no explanation
Tree is brilliant. Dave Tree is brilliant.
I did not understand that Tree was the battle anthem of my youth.
As you read these tributes to the bands that gave me a reason to live each day, you will learn how I was not fully present in 93, when Tree released their A Lot to Fear masterpiece.
You also will learn that I care much more about describing the way the music makes me feel, my personal connection to it, the people, the time period and the experiences connected to it, than I care about describing the music. Because at the end of the day that is what draws us to anything context and connection.
