KILLCODE is a five piece band based in New York City.
Their unique sound is a product of their diverse influences
and has been described as "Southern infused Rock/ Metal
with modern vocals." KILLCODE s songs are hooky super
charged sing along Anthems with BIG Guitars and Driving
Rhythms.
Forming in 2008, vocalist Tom Morrissey and guitarist
Chas laid the foundation with a couple of songs they
recorded at Chas' home studio. After recruiting long
time musical companion Erric Bonesmith on bass guitar,
KILLCODE found its form with the addition of Pat Harrington
on guitar and Rob Noxious on the drums.
With all members coming from established projects prior
to KILLCODE, the band quickly raised eyebrows and landed
on bills with the likes of Godsmack & Sevendust. KILLCODE
also provided main support to Brett Scallions on the
Re Fueled East Coast tour.
To date, band has released 'To Die For' (a six song
EP released at the end of 2008), and a second six song
EP, 'Taking it All', which was released in 2010. Both
EPs charted well nationally and gained the band critical
acclaim worldwide. The song "Breaking Away," off of
'Taking It All', was featured in the inspirational documentary,
'DRESSED', directed by David Swajeski and starring fashion
designer Nari Manivong and "6am Again", which appears
on both their debut EP, "To Die For" and the self titled
full length album, has been featured on The Howard Stern
Show on Sirius.
In 2012, they entered the studio once again with Juno
nominated producer Stacy O'Dell (who produced both prior
EPs) to record the full length, twelve song self-titled
effort, 'KILLCODE'. The Album charted in the #2 position
for the week of 8/18/12 on BILLBOARD Mid-Atlantic Heatseekers
Charts. CME records recently re-released the album via
Mega force/Sony Red with two bonus tracks, which will
extend the bands reach even further.
In December of 2013, KILLCODE parted ways with Pat Harrington
and welcomed DC Gonzalez on guitar. DC, known as lead
guitarist for the rock band PANZIE, has proven to more
than just fit in... his style complements what KILLCODE
already had going on and it has reinvigorated the band
as they head into the studio now in spring 2014, with
producer Joey Zampella (best known as guitarist for
legendary bands Life of Agony, Carnivore, and Stereomud).
The band has enjoyed an ever growing fan base both nationally
and internationally, they continue to headline and sell
out prominent marquee venues including New York City's
Irving Plaza, Gramercy Theater and Bowery Ballroom as
well as tremendously successful support gigs at Roseland
Ballroom and Best Buy Theater. Their Tristate area success
was complimented by successful show at Dunkin Donuts
Arena in New Hampshire, Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts
and The Viper Room in Los Angeles.
In October 2014, KILLCODE partnered with Rive Video
Promotions to release the video for their song, "The
Wrong Side" which was filmed all over New York State
and was directed by David Swajeski and Produced by Maryanne
Grisz.
KILLCODE's future is bright and they are doing a great
job of carrying the torch for the new generation. They
aren't showing any signs of slowing down and are ready
and able to take their rightful place alongside the
biggest rock acts out there.
