Biography
Tree of Woe has been described as intense, dramatic and bittersweet. As Ryan Hoffer, A&R agent for Shut Eye Records in Orlando, Fla., wrote in a review, "Tree of Woe resonate with powerful ambition and yearning restlessness. These songs are saturated with a strong sense of nostalgia and enchantment, yet are able to avoid today’s emo cliché."
The band’s songs range from catchy pop/rock flicks to epic instrumentals with an acoustic flair, but their sudden bursts of lashing guitar and stampeding drums set them apart from the crowd. As written in a music review for the Wausau City Pages, "Tree of Woe plays the kind of original music that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the mostly hard metal being pumped out by other local groups."
Tree of Woe formed in 1999 with Tristan and Austin L., two brothers who primarily wrote songs on acoustic guitars. A few years later, Adam R. and Luke K. joined, and the band took a turn towards their new style.
In the past few years, Tree of Woe has recorded two independent albums, Withered Oak and Mushroom Cloud. Yellow Dog Studios (who has recorded artists Garth Brooks, 3 Days Grace, Bowling for Soup, and Caroline Spine) and 7thKid Production worked with the band to produce the second album, Mushroom Cloud.
Live at the Mission Coffee House June 9th
