Founded in 1990 by Tim Owen and Darren Walters, the Jade Tree label has sustained itself for almost a quarter of a century now. With a roster that includes The Promise Ring, Fucked Up, Lifetime, My Morning Jacket, Texas is the Reason, Swiz and countless other seminal acts, they have proven themselves as a self-sustaining entity in the constantly shifting tides of underground music culture. 

I'm Colin Tench and I am suddenly part of many projects. I play guitar and here is the state of play right now:
1981-1985: ODIN . We were continuously gigging for 3 years. Digital album release 2011

New album 'The Sun' out now.

After a seven year hiatus Iceland's progressive nonpareil is back with the song “Hverfum” and a new album in the works.   In Siren started out as a progressive metal band in 2007 under the name Polymental. After the band released an eonymous 6 song EP in 2008 the name changed to In Siren and the band set sails for a more melodic progressive sound.   
The band's first album, In Between Dreams, was released in 2012 to critical acclaim right before the members dispersed to different places on the continent to pursue other projects.  
 
The song Hverfum marks a new start to the band, and is the band's first ever song in Icelandic.

Aint nothing working, aint nothing right. Theres a hole in me that I cant fill no matter how hard I try.

Aint nothing sweeter, there aint nothing wrong. All the pain that I receive keeps me strong and keeps me moving on.
