Swindon Shuffle Headline Acts Announced!


"Few bands sound as polished on their debut demos as Talk in Code. Sounding like an amped up Keane after a night on the lash with the Chili Peppers (could Tom Chaplin manage that without a rehab trip? We’ll leave that to your imagination…), their demo CD may be only three tracks long, but they manage to fit in all of their strengths (and a few weaknesses as well for good measure)".
Phil Singer - There Goes The Fear

"Talk In Code seem to be taking a musical road which is, thankfully, not simply indie and not purely rock - Talk In Code have a lovely jaunty nu-country/rock feel which is not only refreshing to hear but also pretty commercial and certainly damn catchy. Their compositions are bold, well thought out and beautifully rounded with a great modern twist on what could loosely be described as indie with underlying 'country/rock' tendencies".
Peter J Brown - Toxic Pete

Having moved on from considerable time in other groups, bandmates from Talk In Code met through a combination of chance meetings, curiosity, drunken banter and not to mention the simple love of making music! Being all Swindon based made forming a little easier and things didn’t take long to start moving..... The name is taken from a feeling that portrays a confused state of mind combined with thing’s just not making sense.
From initial brainstorming sessions through spring 07, the music soon developed into something electric and the ideas were knocked into shape with almost immediate effect. The songs are forged around an emotion based theme and how we all deal with what life throws at us differently..... The melodies boast anthemic, charismatic attitude underpinned by fizzy, solid rhythm’s to stunning effect. Keyboards and soaring guitars lend bundles of atmosphere whilst subtleties keep the listener engaged!
LIVE is top of the agenda for the band with a promise of an energetic, absorbing performance with plenty of edge and no doubt a few spontaneous outbursts along the way!
Talk In Code is a band that shows direction and a band that displays clear purpose and cause.
