If you dream of the bygone age of rock ‘n’ roll when music was cool and photos were retro without iPhone apps, The Dead Trees might be for you. The self-assigned wandering nomads Michael Ian Cummings, Todd Dalhoff, Matthew Borg, and Noah Rubin started the band in Boston. Not too long after, Albert Hammond Jr., guitarist for The Strokes brought The Dead Trees along for two US tours, according to the band’s Facebook page . After their first full length album “King Of Rosa” was released, the tours continued — but The Dead Trees craved a home. That’s why they moved to Los Angeles. “I feel inspired by LA,” states Cummings on the band’s Facebook. It is clear that the landmarks and sunshine have made a lasting impression upon The Dead Trees . Their most recent video “Back In LA” was shot on a Flip Cam over the course of six weeks by photographer Peter Zachary Voelker .
