Fen started off in Nelson, BC in 1998. We wrote songs with awkward transitions and structures that were painful to listen to. Since then, we've tried to sort ourselves out musically, and these days we write the occasional song that people enjoy.
There are four of us contributing to Fen right now: Doug Harrison (voice/guitar), Sam Levin (guitar/screams), Jeff Caron (bass), and Nando Polesel (drums). We just finished recording an album with our friend Mike Southworth, and we're hoping it'll be released soon. It's Fen's fifth album, and the fourth album Mike has produced for us. It's heavy on guitar and bass and rock riffage in general. There's a lot of solos too.
In 2010 we signed a record deal with upstart label Ripple Music in California. They did a decent job of spreading around our last album, Trails Out of Gloom, and they'll be taking on the marketing and distro for the new album as well.
If you want to see how things unfold for us in 2012, the best thing to do is "like" us on fcbk.
