Codeseven

Codeseven formed in 1995 in high school by brothers (James, Jon, and Matt Tuttle), Eric Weyer, Jeff Jenkins and David Owen. Their first demo Paper or Plastic was released in 1996. In 1998, Codeseven released A Sense of Coalition, a full-length that was catapulted by their daring rendition of “Boys of Summer,” thus putting the band on the map with a college radio Top 10. The band entered Godcity studios to record its Division of Labor EP which experimented with heavier sounds yet keeping the band’s melodic edge — which at the time was quite unconventional — Division of Labor hit the streets to rave reviews and interviews in Hit Parader, Metal Maniacs, Terrorizer, and Kerrang. It went on to top the CMJ metal charts and be featured on WWE’s Heat. The Rescue pushed the boundaries of the genre, drawing on the eclectic, experimental interest of Pink Floyd and Bjork while capturing the energy and emotion of punk. It was produced by Alex Newport and released in May 2002 to critical acclaim and tours with notable acts as Coheed and Cambria, Dredg, Poison the Well, and Hopesfall. Codeseven spent 2004 writing their Equal Vision Records debut titled Dancing Echoes / Dead Sounds, an album that saw the band expanding their vision in a darker and more electronic manner. The culmination of that evolving sound and friendship that is destined to speak volumes to their peers and those in the mainstream music world, DE/DS laid the groundwork for the band’s eventual comeback LP, Go Let It In.
