Predicts the Future is the acclaimed second studio album by the Canadian indie rock band Plumtree, released in 1997 through Cinnamon Toast Records. It is widely celebrated for its catchy melodies, energetic power-pop instrumentation, and for containing the song that inspired the famous Scott Pilgrim franchise.
The album's ninth track, "Scott Pilgrim", directly inspired cartoonist Bryan Lee O'Malley to create his graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. The fictional protagonist wears a Plumtree shirt, and the band's music—including the album's opening track "Go!"—is heavily featured on the soundtrack of the 2010 film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Plumtree was a Halifax pop/ rock band that existed between 1993 and 2000. Sisters Carla and Lynette Gillismet Amanda Braden and Nina Martin through music teachers in 1993 when they were all under the age of 17. Four months later, they performed their first set at renowned Halifax all-ages club Cafe Ole. Plumtree's upbeat "happy" sound quickly caught the ear of local label Cinnamon Toast Records, as well as popular Halifax bands Sloan, Thrush Hermit and Jale. This support helped Plumtree secure high-profile shows at the Halifax Pop Explosion and Toronto's Edgefest, and kick-started years of touring. In 1995,Ottawa native Catriona Sturton joined Plumtree after Nina left for university in Montreal. Plumtree maintained a strong national (albeit underground) presence throughout the late '90s thanks to video airplay, festival appearances, three full-length albums and near-constant touring alongside Thrush Hermit, the Local Rabbits, the Weakerthans, Duotang, Superfriendz, Julie Doiron and the Inbreds. Notable awards included Best Canadian Band Under Twenty from the YTV Achievement Awards (1996) and an East Coast Music Award nomination for Predicts the Future (1998).
