JADE TREE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

June 2014 saw Jade Tree releasing their entire catalog on Bandcamp. True, this was preceded by several quiet years from the label, in fact, the general consensus of east coast punks was that Jade Tree had silently dissolved, that it had become something that was— something only remembered for the likes of Kid Dynamite, Cap'n Jazz and Pedro The Lion.

Jade Tree’s action in 2014 came with excitement from some and skepticism from others. No matter whose opinion you favor, Jade Tree was and is the same label it has always been, propelled by the same motivations that led founders Tim Owen and Darren Walters to start Jade Tree— for the love and appreciation of music.

ARCHIVE OF STAGEDIVES: SUNNY SINGH & HATE5SIX

Occasionally it takes more than just the hands of Sunny Singh to film some of the higher profile and festival shows whose footage ends up on the ever-growing @hate5sixofficial database. Singh’s passion project has found him traveling all over the country, almost daily adding footage of performances from punk and hardcore shows to the growing archive that he has amassed since the project became Singh’s priority around 2007.
