Bio
In 2008, Neon Trees was just another band toiling in the clubs around Provo, Utah. Fronted by charismatic singer-songwriter Tyler Glenn, the band carefully crafted a contemporized new wave rock sound, with distinct elements of pop and soul.
Utilizing YouTube and their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/neontrees), Neon Trees earned exposure for original songs like “Girls and Boys in School,” “Drop Your Weapon” and “Sins of My Youth.” But living in relatively remote Provo, Glenn and crew had little reason to believe they would ever rise above local hero status.
The Killers, offered Glenn and his cohorts the opening slot for dates on their 2008 North American tour.
Composed of musicians from competing bands, Neon Trees held their first rehearsal in a Provo Utah space in 2007.
The band jumped headlong onto the Utah music scene. All of these things placed Neon Trees on the list of groups-to-watch in 2009. Glenn and his comrades recently signed to Mercury Records, with their major label debut slated for January 2010 release.
