Jade Tree Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jade Tree is an independent record label formed by Darren Walters and Tim Owen in August 1991, out of Wilmington, Delaware.

Walters and Owen had both owned independent straight edge hardcore record labels, separately known as Hi-Impact Records and Axtion Packed Records respectively, before starting Jade Tree together due to the then decline of the genre. Their new label had started off with mostly post-hardcore and noise rock bands, but later incorporated emo, punk, melodic hardcore and experimental groups into their line-up.

Although college often got in the way of their plans, the label had a stable roster by 1995. Their most popular bands to date are The Promise Ring, Lifetime, Jets to Brazil, Strike Anywhere, Kid Dynamite, and Pedro the Lion.
