Men As Trees is a band from Auburn Hills, Michigan, north of Detroit and home of Oakland University. Formed in 2003 the band sought to combine punk, hardcore and instrumental music into a form that is now often described as a hybrid of screamo and post-rock, and that strives for intensity, both in quick, frantic bursts and longer, patient contemplations. Most notable and referred to as having an epic sound which draws them to the forefront of their blend of genres. Summer of 2009 held their month-long European tour where they co-headlined with German post-rock band Single State of Man.
