“This Grafton teen band Life in a Tree, with two albums and a Summerfest gig under its belt, may be on the cusp of fame”
“It’s not unusual for talented teenagers to form bands and play for their peers, but Life in a Tree, an alternative rock band featuring four Grafton High School sophomores and a Homestead High School student, is being noticed by people in the music industry who recognize emerging talent.” - Carol Pomeday
“Attention detected talents! Life In A Tree is a very young American rock band whose five member ages are between 15 and 16 years. Life In A Tree released a rather successful first EP entitled "Trapped In My Treehouse " in March 2013 and consists of six titles . We then had immediately spotted without knowing the age of five young musicians (which was a real surprise, they would have rather seen in the 18-20 years), their talent was difficult to ignore. We loved "JOSH's Song" or "Free". The young American group is currently working on their full-length LP which few details have yet been released. However, the surprise is waiting for you because we see that Life In A Tree still took a higher level technically, and is certainly not lacking inspiration! Long life to them.” - Matt Tou
“Their debut album, "Trapped in My Treehouse," recorded last summer, is nothing to sneeze at either. The recording consists of highly-polished garage rock that can move with tidal waves of ferocious energy one minute and melancholy piano the next. The album provides listeners with a hint of good things to come from the young five-piece.” - Michael Runyon
"Life in a Tree has top gear, a steady catalog of covers and originals, a flashy website and a solid EP inspired by alt-rock acts like Fall Out Boy, Paramore and blink-182" - Piet Levy

Bio
Life In A Tree's music is dynamic, rich and powerful, while being balanced with smart, meaningful lyrics. The unique sound of this Wisconsin-based band defy's their young ages of 15 & 16. Their music resonates a deeper undertone of life as a teenager, which serves as a reminder to us all the impact of those most formidable growing years. Their music speaks to both adults and kids alike, spanning the full spectrum of audiences with their balance of substance, diverse vocals, delicate harmonies and complex song structures. They excel both in live performances and in studio, one minute at the apex of musical intricacies, the next stripped down to just vocals. They will challenge your thoughts of youth versus musical talent and leave you with a wonderful feeling about the direction of the next generation. True uniqueness in music is so hard to find these days, but somehow Life In A Tree produced it with their debut album. **Announcement: Our new full-length album will be released world-wide September 2014, and four newly completed music videos.....so stay tuned!!
