About Me

STARCODE is a New York City based modern rock band. The brothers O’Connor create a solid backbone to which catchy pop vocal melodies and interwoven guitars and loops cling creating songs that electrify the listener leaving one wanting more. Recorded with producer Dale Penner (Nickelback, Econoline Crush, and Matthew Good) STARCODE’s latest release ‘hum’ is a full course cross section of the band’s talents as songwriters. Their live shows are high energy rides that live and breath as each song literally comes to life. STARCODE members Dan O’Connor and Steve Bernstein have a history, they used to play with MILC who was signed to Megaforce Records. Reunited once again and joining Greg Nicotra and Dave O’Connor the line up of STARCODE bleeds an irresistible and contagious chemistry.STARCODE has performed with The Goo Goo Dolls, Fono, Smashmouth, The Claypeople, Buck Cherry, Belly, Pete Francis They have also toured the east coast as well as the former Czech Republic for the DOD entertaining UN troops.“..And after wearing out the repeat button on my stereo system while listening to this whole album the past few days, it's no wonder why Starcode has garnered so much attention...” -Charlie Doherty, Blogcritics Magazine "The mix of influences and the raw musical delivery of each member of Starcode comes together on HUM delivering High Energy Hooky Pop Music, doing to the ears what fine wine does to the pallet." -Dale Penner, Producer “These indie pop anti-hipsters released ‘Hum’ ........ after introducing the album to over 100 college radio stations throughout North America. With help from stations such as WEXP-FM in Philadelphia, KZFR-FM in Chico, CA and KZOW-FM in Forest City, Iowa, popular tracks like “Another Day” and “Crash” have been in heavy rotation on DJ’s playlists.....” -Bandweblogs.com
