Glowtrees, a female-fronted power trio formed in early 2022 in Birmingham, emerged from the creative reconnection of Leanne and Paul during lockdown. The duo, who previously collaborated in Leanne's first band Twist, sought to create music reminiscent of the bands they grew up with. Leanne, having played bass guitar and drums in various bands, wanted to step up to the mic to showcase her vocal skills and songwriting prowess. Paul, transitioning from producing electronic music, picked up his guitar to make some real noise again. With serendipity on their side, Leanne’s former Shana Tova collaborator, Alan, joined on drums, and Glowtrees was born. The band quickly got to work at Robannas studio, and within months, they had over 30 songs and started performing live. Fans immediately recognized their talent, hailing them as “an incredible new band” and “definitely one to watch.” Drawing influences from alt-rock, grunge, indie, math pop, and psychedelic rock, Glowtrees' unique sound is life-affirming, noisy, and at times decadent, with interludes of layered, melodic introspection. Leanne’s lyrics convey messages of strength, hope, and inclusivity, addressing topics such as mental health, social media, LGBTQ+ issues, bullying, relationships, and spirituality. Her cool yet soaring vocals and driving bass lines, combined with Paul’s whirling atmospheric and punky down-tuned guitars and Alan’s stamina-defying drum wizardry, create a powerful, captivating musical experience.
