The Pine was an emocore band from Bakersfield, California. As one of the most influential and prolific bands of the early 2000s, The Pine managed to breathe new life into a sound some thought was dead. It's hard not to talk about this band without mentioning their most major influence; the California emo band Evergreen, with the bands name even being heavily inspired by Evergreen. Despite being stylistically indebted to Evergreen (and The Hated by extension) The Pine crafted their own unique take on the formula and took it to new heights.
Over their 7 year tenure, The Pine put out an extensive and impressive discography, while simultaneously touring at a break neck pace. It can be a rare sight to see a band release more than one LP in this genre; the four LPs and endless recordings released by The Pine are truely an impressive feat, especially considering the uniform quality of their material.
The Pine's discography is slowly being remastered and rereleased, so hopefully we can see more of that as well as vinyl represses soon!
First Demo (recently digitized by 19x04!) and unreleased tracks
Unreleased Acoustic Tracks
The Pine has a ton of releases. It's worth your time to check out the inserts and packaging that contain Roger King's amazing drawings and art! I'm just going to link the discogs entries for them below instead of adding every single picture for the sake of time.
