The five guys that make up the band :::KILLCODE::: didn't have to rise from ashes or go through some spiritual quest to find themselves where they are today.

Collectively, they have sold tens of thousands of albums and toured the world with separate bands, sometimes sharing those stages with each other, not to mention some of music's royalty. There came a moment not too long ago when guitarist Chas Banellis and vocalist Tom Morrissey put a few tunes to tape and decided they had something that rocked too hard to ignore. They approached Erric Bonesmith about checking out the songs and seeing if he might dig throwing down some bass. He dug it, and he did it.

Next they set their sights on a drummer and after several auditions by drummers from all over the country, they found Rob Noxious. Rob fit in from day one and then there were four. Guitarist Pat Harrington was just himself finishing a new album after just getting off tour when the guys asked him to come jam. The five guys got a room, plugged in, and :::KILLCODE::: was born!

One of the things that was obvious from the very start was the fact that all these guys had common musical ground but born from different genres and influences. It turns out that those differences just added to the inspiration and created a heavy but melodic, dirty but polished, raw and emotional sound.

The band is currently putting finishing touches on their debut recording, TO DIE FOR, which is being engineered by Stacy O'Dell and produced by Stacy and the band. They have also been touring the country, blowing the roof off of every room they play.

:::KILLCODE::: won't go quietly, and they won't be nice about it, but, they will get the job done.
