Prog Rockers FEN Announce FREE T-Shirt Give Away! Time To Make Room For New Merch!

Top Left to Right = Bass: Jeff Caron | Drums: Nando Polesel

Bottom Left to Right = Lead Guitars/Backing Vocals: Sam Levin | Guitars/Vocals: Doug Harrison

Vancouver progressive rockers FEN have announced they will be giving away FREE band T-shirts to make room for new merchandise as they encourage their fans to share their tunes and increase their social media presence.

The band has commented the following:

“Dear Grumps,

We’re clearing out our merch closet and using it as a shameless excuse to pull a few more listeners out of the woodwork. We’ll give away 10 T-shirts if we reach 1000 likes on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/fenmusic. After that, we’ll give away 5 shirts for every additional 500 likes until supplies are gone. The selection will be made on April 12th.

And how will we make the crucial decision of who gets the shirts?

We’re still sorting that part out. We’re considering a kind of ritualistic monkey dance that will involve the four of us uprooting house plants then hurling our feces at the computer monitor. Whichever names get covered up on our facebook page, we’ll contact those people and mail the shirts to their homes.

Shamlessly yours,

Doug, Jeff, Sam & Nando”

In additional news, Fen recently released their latest music video ‘A Long Line Final’ from their fifth and latest album ‘Of Losing Interest’ released last summer via indie label Ripple Music to follow up their fourth release ‘Trails Out Of Gloom’.

Their heaviest and most technical album to date, ‘Of Losing Interest’ is an album that revisits the band’s harder edged metallic past while retaining the melodic sensibilities that made ‘Trails Out of Gloom’ so alluring. Co-Produced by Mike Southworth, his fourth with the band, ‘Of Losing Interest’ is a contrast of technical virtuosity layered against warm low end organics.

About:

In January of 1998, in the mountain shadows of Nelson, British Columbia, a creatorship emerged called Fen. The road has been long for this dark-leaning band, which after more than a decade of obscurity, was finally ushered into the prog and metal fan’s psyche. This occurred in 2010, when Fen signed to California label Ripple music and released their fourth album Trails Out Of Gloom. The album garnered impressive reviews from bloggers and print magazines worldwide, including mention in the UK’s Classic Rock magazine and a perfect 16/16 score from the US authority on prog: Progressions Magazine. To follow up this attention, in May of 2011, the management of UK/Israeli prog veterans Blackfield invited Fen to open for them on the Vancouver stop of their North American tour.

To date, Fen’s music has sold in more than fifteen countries, and with the help of dedicated bloggers, two AAA-radio campaigns, and a music video for the single “Miracle,” the band’s following continues to expand. In surprising contrast to the dark nature of Fen’s music, their songs have been placed on HGTV (Home and Garden Television) and Animal Planet’s, From Underdog to Wonderdog, among others. The song “Through the Night” will soon be available on the video game RockBand.

Fen has performed at clubs and festivals throughout BC, and in the summer of 2011, took part in the Forest Symphony at UBC’s Pacific Spirit Park. Fen’s fifth album, Of Losing Interest, will be available in August 2012, and is a return to the heavier aspects of the band’s sound. It is their second release under the Ripple Music label, and it brings together a band line up first assembled in 1999.
