"Though Codaphonic frontman Cody Newman sings about being an outsider (a kid with no shoes, a boy with a funny name) and likes to talk about his emotions, he doesn't sulk or self-obsess (or waste money on makeup and tragic haircuts) - he just rocks his heart out. Filled with catchy hooks, strong melodies and enough sunny "ooh"s and "aah"s to break through the deepest gloom, their debut CD Good Morning Radio is a testament to the redemptive power of music. " - Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene
"Newman has found his niche as a professor in the school of power pop. Employing a taste of Wayne Coyne-influenced vocals and an ironic take on life’s little adversities, Newman knows how to command attention. With Taylor Jones and Justin Harris following along on bass and drums respectively, the guys combine to produce a bright and intelligent six-song EP. The singalongs and “oohs” and “aahs” remind the listener of a time when rock was more about having a good time than about image." - Kenneth Gambill, Southeastern Performer
"This trio from Nashville has come up with a contender for EP of the Year. Good Morning Radio is Codaphonic's debut, but its craft and self-assurance could easily fool the listener into thinking they've been around for 10 years." - Absolute Power Pop
"From the CD cover with the day-glo radio to the title, it’s obvious that this is music screaming to be played over the airwaves. And these songs deliver: filled with hooks that won’t quit and clever lyrics (who would’ve thought to write a sing-songy ode to “Ritalin”), and sung with cheeky insouciance by Newman who has clearly done his homework in Pop 101. ""Good Morning Radio is an excellent calling card for Codaphonic" and "augurs great things for the future." - Gina Morris, Evolution of Media"
"Codaphonic succeeded in what is perhaps the most important element to putting on a good live show — the fun factor. Even during a short set on a weekday evening, the men of Codaphonic seemed to be having the time of their lives." - Kat Amano, Southeastern Performer
