Between 2000 and 2005, The Pine came out of nowhere, impossible to classify. How to deal with a typical post-hardcore band, with an untypical vocalist and whose music finally even if obviously based on distorted screaming electric guitar always had in the background the same kind of aura of shoegazer bands like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine or The Cocteau Twins, yes totally different, whose energy, dynamism, melancholic depth and tension would recall the glory days of Seam, Codeine and Mineral, yet within another form. Four albums and a bunch of split 7inches and compilation tracks, The Pine appeared out of nowhere and disappeared without much evolution five years later, as a brilliant idea with nice drawings on their sleeves and so far their discography aged very well. The circle was done.
