*****

Treetops were an indie pop band from Melbourne, Australia led by Ben Montero. They released three EPs but no album, though one was apparently almost complete before it was shelved. In 2006 the band released the single ‘I Can’t Stop Thinking About Spiders’ and a compilation ‘Treemo – The Treetops complete demos (2001-2006)’. Both were available digitally only on the bands MySpace page. After Treetops broke up in 2009, several members went onto join Ben Montero’s next band The Brutals who released one album in 2010. – discogs
