Scott Pilgrim (1998) is perhaps one of the most over the top teenage angst punk bands I’ve ever heard – perhaps precisely because the original band members were young teenagers when it was created. Plumtree was formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1993 and disbanded in 2000.

Lynette Gillis and Carla Gillis still play for the rock band Overnight and occasionally Bells Blanging. Catriona Sturton lives in Ottawa and teaches harmonica inbetween making blues music.

Amanda Bidnall went on to become an accomplished academic in history and is now a freelance editor.

Nina Martin went on to become a professor of Geography with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.


The song is most well known for inspiring the famous graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim (2004-2010) by also fellow Canadian Bryan Lee O’Malley. The Scott Pilgrim franchise would end up taking up much more cultural real estate than the band or song itself.
