The band started off with singer, songwriter and founding member Dan Turner’s love for music, he originally started his musical career as a drummer, but then went on to learn guitar and pen over 20 songs, he then realise that no vocalist he tried out could do the songs justice so stepped out from behind his drums to play guitar and take on the lead vocals, he then asked his brother Dave who was nicely following in his footsteps to drum to see if the songs worked well in a live environment, straight away they realised the songs worked and then recruited Dan Fisher on bass and Jonny Regan on vocals and guitar to complete the line up.

Since the band found their prefect line up they have been busy playing local shows, building up a steady local following as well as won support slots around the North West which has seen them share the stage which a diverse line up of bands such as The Futureheads, Buzzcocks, The Holloways and even the Sugababes, you may laugh but it is very true.

The sound and feel that CodeJAK have is a massive tub-thumping sound which features big catchy screeching vocals, dirty guitar riffs, piercing drum beats and a general sense of progressive rock which is going to leave you with a massive smile on your face, the sound of the band is perfectly highlighted on their debut EP release ‘Hell Yeah’.

‘Hell Yeah’ is not due for release until the 25th January, so if I was you I would note that down in your diary and make sure that you pick up a copy or download a copy from ITunes on that day as the opening track ‘Hell Yeah’ is already lined up to be the rock anthem of 2010 in my opinion and that is a big statement considering that 2010 is barely days old. The second track ‘Pull Out Your Knife’ is a good song which features squealing guitar riffs and repetitive lyrics of “Pull out you knife, pull out your knife, pull out your knife and come with me’ which builds up nicely. The third and final track on the EP ‘Little Boy’ shows off the softer side of CodeJAK in such an eerie way.

At the moment CodeJAK are currently booking a co-headline tour with The Rocket Dolls the tour will run throughout part of February and March and will see both bands travel all over the UK clocking up at least 20 shows, it is a tour we are well looking forward to and I urge each and every single one of you to try and make it to at least one show as CodeJAK could quite possibly become your new favourite band.

As if the upcoming tour was not enough to get you excited, the band are already working on their debut album which is slated for a summer 2010 release and I am sure nearer the time it will cause a massive buzz in the industry.
