Buzz Factory

Released in 1989, Buzz Factory captures the Screaming Trees in a raw, unpolished state, blending grunge’s emerging heaviness with the band’s signature psychedelic and garage-rock influences. Mark Lanegan’s brooding vocals ride over fuzzed-out guitars and propulsive rhythms, creating a tense, swirling energy that feels both urgent and otherworldly. Buzz Factory is a snapshot of a band honing its distinctive sound—rough around the edges, fiercely expressive, and hinting at the more expansive work to come.
