Code Rad is an eight piece ska/punk/funk band started up at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Why this name?
We couldn't come up with anything, so we had a contest where people give suggestions and we'd vote and the winning suggestion gets free tickets to our next show. Of course we don't sell tickets, but our drummer Rebecca won anyway.
Do you play live?
Yeah, we've played at coffeehouses on the Brandeis University campus, but we prefer to play at wild parties.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
a lot of ways and stuff
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
hells yeah
Band History:
Code Rad used to be called Urban Lunchmeat, and had a questionable slogan "we sound better than we taste". While they originally started up as a Reel Big Fish cover band, they later focused on lead singer Ben Pernick's originals as well as revamped ska versions of popular songs such as Iron Man, Dammit, Blister in the Sun, and Killer Tofu. They won second place at Brandeis University's battle of the bands, missing 1st place by just 4 votes (and 4 of the band members forgot to vote).
