Album Notes

CODE FOUR-FIFTEEN is a band. And no, it has nothing to do with the area code for San Francisco. They sound kinda like...well you should really listen for yourself and decide. Remember when music could be aggressive and melodic? Remember when you could actually hear the lyrics? Remember simple rock and roll bar chord progressions? Guitar solos? Well, CODE 4-15 embodies those elements. But they are more than that. Hailing from the band-breeding faction that is Southern California, they have somehow managed to rise above the multitudes. There is no concrete explanation as to why, but you can feel it in your guts, these guys are good. They are hard-working and dedicated and uphold a do-it-yourself-and-dont-complain approach to what they do. With each solid performance, they walk away with a gaggle of new fans; there are no rockstar attitudes, no expensive punk gear or goofy emo haircuts, just the music that they live and breathe everyday.

They don't sound like anyone else out there, but they're not off the map by any standards. You could describe it as fast-paced punk rock and roll written by guys who grew up listening to, and are largely influenced by the old-school punk sound. Although the name has been around for many years, the last four have been the most significant for CODE 4-15 with multiple self-booked west coast tours, three warped tours and one self-booked national tour. Their first release is a record entitled Were All In This Together (2004) and was self-released on their own BitchCop Records. The new record, entitled Raise your Glass (released in March of 2006), is available now on Pirish Records.

Do yourself a favor and go check them out. Hell, if nothing else, just go get drunk and have a laugh with them...
