Welcome
One London Saturday in July 2011 I was flicking through my record collection and realised I had a significant amount of records by bands who liked being pictured on their LP sleeves among Shrubs or other delightful types of foliage thus Shrubcore was born. This blog attempts to spread knowledge & awareness of this wonderful & inclusive genre.

I don't know if Shrubcore is still a thing but bands still wander outdoors occasionally for their album cover shots. Check out Augustana's "Can't Love, Can't Hurt" which reminds me a lot of Ten Years After's "A Space In Time".Herb Alpert seemed to like going outside when he wasn't busy covering girls in whipped cream. The Fenians couldn't find any shrubs so they opted for rocks instead. The Grassroots were quite naturally pictured in a woodsy field full of the sorts of plants my sister is allergic to. And how did I discover Shrubcore? Pinterest!
