After the Edmonton band’s first album, A Year at the Movies
(2004), sold 20,000 copies in Canada and led to shows with Fall
Out Boy, Good Charlotte, and The Used, among others, the Edmonton
foursome decided to take on the daunting task of creating the
new album with only their blood, sweat, tears and, of course,
guitars. Social Code’s previous experience working with
high-profile producers, such as Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance,
Three Days Grace, Hoobastank), in posh Los Angeles studios had
earned them a PhD in rock ’n’ roll and recording.
That experience gave the band the confidence to go it alone—despite
the huge pressure. So, Social Code took the only next step that
made sense: they gutted the basement of Jacobs’ house, built
a studio and spent the next year locked underground, redefining
themselves as a band. The end result is an album that is truly
Social Code’s own (hence the self-title). The album, which
was mixed by Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Simple Plan) and Mike
Fraser (Metallica, AC/DC, Hinder), netted Social Code a deal
with Universal Music Canada and the album was released on May
8, 2007. Recent tours with Hedley, Sum 41, and Theory of Dead
Man have helped to pave the way for huge success beyond their
Canadian roots.
Social Code uses Dean Markley NickelSteel
Bass XM and NickelSteel
Electric JZ strings.
Bassist Logan Jacobs said:
Dean Markley strings are second to none and we’ve been extremely
fortunate to have had their support since the beginning. We’ve
never recorded an album or played a show without them!
