Code Orange are leading the charge of an emerging generation of progressive, forward-thinking artists. Check their curated playlist featuring their contemporaries like JPEGMAFIA, Nothing, HARMS WAY, Power Trip, Jesus Piece, Greg Puciato, VEIN, and Clipping to name a few.
While the focus of Code Orange’s approach to the live streaming platform has been their continued innovation in pairing the visual element with their sonic assault, there are details that the band tends to that should also be involved in the conversation.
What remains particularly impressive is that the band retains the same DIY ethos as they continue to make their ascent. Everything that the band puts their name on is something they personally have worked to create, develop, produce. Code Orange understand the complete presentation and that is why they are regarded so highly among a new, progressive generation of aggressive artists that set the pace, rather than play catch up.
In preparation of their third and most ambitious live streaming event, Back Inside the Glass, Code Orange have brought back their homage to the Headbanger’s Ball era of heavy music. Developing their Mudbanger’s Ball moniker, Code Orange has even enlisted the show’s original host, Rikki Rachtman, to serve as the Master of Ceremonies in a pre-show that shares Code Orange’s well-earned shine with a collection of emerging artists that are among a new class of creatives that are all pushing the envelope when it comes to churning out interesting heavy music.
For Back Inside the Glass, Code Orange has recruited Jesus Piece, Year of the Knife, and Machine Girl to provide live support. To further underscore the relevance of this promising new crew of prospects, Code Orange has curated a playlist specially for KNOTFEST highlighting bands that propelling the culture forward.
Guitarist and Vocalist Reba Meyers of Code Orange offers insight into each selection below and asserts just why the following artists are the ones to pay attention to.
