NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Social Code Official Website) - Already a formidable musical force in the Chilly White North, this foursome have made a major splash with their homebrewed and intoxicating powerpop in their native country over the last few years. Now, they're getting ready to tap into their neighbors to the South with their new EP He Said, She Said set for release in the U.S. on October 21, 2008. "We've never been content sitting idle," says vocalist
Travis Nesbitt. "We knew that we had to grow, so the natural thing is for us to come a-knocking to our neighbors to the South, eh?"
With over 20,000 copies sold of their debut album, A Year At the Movies, in Canada alone coupled with sharing stages with Rise Against, Fall Out Boy and Deftones, among others, they decided to create a new EP with their blood, sweat, tears, and, of course, guitars. What they ended up with is a raucous and incendiary EP packed with passion, vigor, and more importantly, hooks. From the lilting ballad "Everyday (Late November)" to the rowsing grit of "Beautiful" to the plaintive "Perfect Grave", this EP is a perfect balance of soaring pop melodies, slash and burn guitars, and Travis' distinctively scratchy and whiskey-soaked vocals. The rowsing melodic rock of the title track and first single/video "He Said, She Said" is a high-octane, high-passion tale of love, mistrust and doubt that was a sort of "Frankenstein's monster.""While we were writing for this EP, we took some leftover song verses and, during a late and stormy night, stitched them into a new song that we didn't know how to finish, thus breathing new life into what we now know as 'He Said, She Said'."
With their US debut EP ready for release and a handful of songs that are destined to be victims of the REPEAT button, SOCIAL CODE are gearing up to overtake listeners Stateside. "After we conquer America, we plan to conquer the rest of the planet with our sweet and sultry sounds," smirks Travis. If this EP is any indication of the weaponry they're smuggling, it looks like world domination isn't too far behind.
The He Said, She Said EP will be self-released on October 21, 2008 and features tracks produced by Howard Benson (All American Rejects, Hawthorne Heights, Less Than Jake) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Rise Against, Green Day, AFI) and Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith).
