RESTRICTED CODE
The Codes will be launching their debut album, ‘Chasing Shadows,’ released November 1st on the Last Night From Glasgow label.
Restricted Code enjoyed fantastic critical success and something of a ‘cult’ following in the early 1980s. Signed to Bob Last’s Pop:aural label alongside label-mates The Fire Engines, Boots for Dancing, and The Flowers, Sounds music paper claimed they delivered the ‘best gig of 1981.’ They also received rave reviews and features in magazines including NME, The Face, and Melody Maker.
The band split up late in 1981, perhaps due to the pressures of not achieving breakthrough success despite such critical acclaim, but reformed with all original members. After releasing new music digitally in 2020 and 2023, the band is back with a brand new album to be released in November 2025.
Visit restrictedcode.com to hear music from the band, including John Peel sessions and previously released music. At The Old Hairdresser’s, they will play the entirety of Chasing Shadows, plus highlights from their back catalogue.
