All-female bands have been in the industry for almost 90 years. The 1920s was a witness to the boom in Jazz groups like Helen and The Jazz Syncopators, Hollywood Red Heads, The Ingenues, The Bricktops, and the like. By the 1960s, women formed more Rock \u2018n Roll bands due to the fame The Beatles got. Goldie and the Gingerbreads, The Livebirds, The Tremelons, and the Les Planettes, were among the musical acts that gave the male-dominated music scene a run for their money. Following the spunk of these all-girl bands would be an indie pop punk outfit, Plumtree. <\/p>\n

\"Plumtree<\/a><\/p>\n

The group formed in Halifax<\/a>, Canada back in 1993. Plumtree is composed of Carla and Lynette Gillis, Amanda Braden, and Catriona Sturton. In 2000, they released their third album \u201cThis Day Won\u2019t Last at All.\u201d It was hailed by listeners on iTunes and YouTube as: \u201cThe raw feelings and punk sounds remain, but This Day Won’t Last at All is distinct in its reflective narrative and bouncy songs, and \u201cRecently got into these fantastic gals. They’re really something eh?\u201d With YouTube providing special channels for Global Music Canada<\/a>, FoxyBingo.com<\/a>, and other entertainment portals for online users, more indie music and gaming fans got a hold of Plumtree\u2019s music. Since these sites became platforms for sharing and talking about common interests, unsigned artists like Plumtree are given a chance for their music to be heard all over the world. <\/p>\n

The band\u2019s third record contained 12 tracks that were recorded in lo-fi. The first song entitled \u201cWas That All?\u201d is upbeat and is dominated by percussion’s. This tune definitely provided the album with the perfect introduction to the sound of Plumtree. \u201cI\u2019m Not Moving\u201d and \u201cRegret\u201d are the two songs that showcased Carla Gillis and Amanda Braden\u2019s guitar playing skills. The track that provided the break for the upbeat-filled album was \u201cLatitude.\u201d It gave off a relaxing sound, perfect for Sunday driving. Standout songs from Plumtree\u2019s third offering includes: Faraway, Lies I Tell Myself, and Hello Again. <\/p>\n

With bands like Plumtree, it\u2019s not impossible to expect more all-female musical groups to emerge from obscurity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
