Gothic Rock

And Also the Trees

And Also The Trees was formed in 1979 in the United Kingdom. They are early forerunners to the Gothic rock genre, amongst others. And Also The Trees started in the dawn of the Eighties in Inkberrow,a small village in Worcestershire, far in the countryside. They never had the pressure to move to London. Inspired by the ideology of a still-developing post-punk movement, the band was influenced almost exclusively by the landscape and history of the rural environment that surrounded them.
