In the Trees by The Watchmen
In the Trees is an album by The Watchmen, released in 1994. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lusitana”, on 1 list with a best position of #714.
In the Trees, the Watchmen's second studio album, came out on MCA in 1994, and it's the one that finally broke the band at home in Canada. There was a new man on bass, Ken Tizzard, who came in that year when Pete Loewen left, and a shift at the songwriting desk too: singer Daniel Greaves had found his confidence as a writer, so guitarist Joey Serlin ended up with credits on only three of the songs.
The sound is sturdy, muscular alternative rock with a brooding streak, all chiming guitars and Greaves's big, aching voice. "Boneyard Tree", "All Uncovered" and "Lusitana" were the hits, and MuchMusic played the videos for the first two to death. It became their one platinum record, and Brand New Day followed.
