Since the summer of '04, Coded has been turning heads all over the world. What started out as a few veteran metal musicians meeting each other via online ads, quickly became the summer's biggest buzz on Long Island. After a few short studio sessions, the foursome quickly developed a unique sound and had a set list ready for the stage. Coded took their first few songs and recorded a 3 song demo. The demo was posted online and started getting great feedback from New York to Texas, and from Canada to Europe. The band started hitting the stage and proved that no matter how small a club is, the energy the band and the fans create cannot be contained.
Coded is fronted by Tamara, whose powerful voice, melodies and socially conscious and existence-related lyrics cut through like a bolt of lightning. Holding it down on guitar is the amazing melody-master Jeff whose fingers weave a tale of joy, pain, sanity and madness. On bass is John whose masterful melodic digits push each song to new heights. The final piece of the puzzle, holding everything together, is Mike on drums, who adds a storm of tamed chaos without ever skipping a beat.
Coded has received incredible recognition by the industry and the fans for their incredible blend of modern hard rock, old school metal, and cross over. The songs speak for themselves. This is one band that has achieved so much over the past few months, and they haven't even warmed up yet. Stay tuned for Part II...
