The new Wren is able to seamlessly transition from heavy rock to light alternative to rhythm-core hip-hop. Rapped verses with sung choruses over guitar effects, slap bass lines and funk/rock drum beats are where the band is heading. In 2012, Paul Lindberg (bass/rapped lyrics/backing vocals) joined Wren in its original form, which had been founded by Tim Cowan (lead vocals/guitar/keyboards) sometime in 2011
