Pico Vs. Island Trees

Bands overflowing with the wide-eyed exuberance of youth are not hard to find, but Nashville's Pico vs Island Trees are a rare commodity: a group able to back up its innocence and enthusiasm with musical proficiency and keen pop sensibilities. By fusing genres ranging from indie rock to jazz, Pico vs Island Trees avoid the common temptation for musicians today to subscribe to a certain 'scene.’ "We don't want to be pigeonholed as being a certain 'type' of band," says vocalist Bryan Carter.
