"It’s too early to tell what The Code Kids’ particular “angst” might be, but the quartet sounds great getting it off their collective chest."
-Consequence of Sound
"Armed with a Paul Westerberg obsession and a desire to create straight-ahead, heartfelt rock and roll in true Midwestern fashion, Chicago garage/alternative four-piece The Code Kids are the kind of indie band you can't help but champion."
Windy City Rock
"With a Replacements-like feel, the EP's three tracks exude energy and offer a sound so tight that its almost unfathomable to imagine when considering this group has been in existence for mere weeks."
-WNEW
'Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere'.
"Track of the Day on the 26th of Dec 2008 in Alternative Rock"..
-Garageband.com
Influences
Twenty-something angst, a blow torch, Darren Star, some lithium, R.B.I. Baseball, an old NES game console and Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers."

Moving Walkways (live @ Club Underground, Minneapolis, MN 03/26/09)
It started with a break up and finished with a trio – yet somehow they’re still alive. The Chicago loud mouths that make up The Code Kids are bringing in some raw Midwestern flavor, even if only one of them is from the area. With a sloppy, stripped down, garage-alternative sound, similar to that of The Replacements, Dramarama & Hüsker Dü, The Code Kids are creating highly accessible music that’s still hip enough to chalk up at the water cooler on boring Tuesdays.
After a seven month hiatus, the nominal three -- Mike Roffman, Jay Ziegler, and Kyle Masterson -- have decided to champion on, adding drummer Vince Hernandez to spice things up. It took some convincing, but when it came down it, they just missed playing. Currently, the band is sharpening older tunes, writing new ones, and penciling in their follow up to last year’s debut EP, We Sell It Back To You When You Beg. Fans can expect past live favorites “Moving Walkways” and “How Very”, alongside new cuts, too. With the fall season here, the band's looking ahead to calmer days, literally and metaphorically speaking.
