STUDIO – THE NEXT CHAPTER – DRUMS DAY 1
So we are delighted to be back in the studio! Couldn’t be happier! The plan for the year was to work with Simon in the first quarter and get the EP recorded. We originally had 11 songs and whittled them down to 5, and we’ve been crafting them for a few months now. Drums went down a dream on day one in SILVER SHARK STUDIO’s. This is what GRAVITY SHACK used be called, where we did the drums for last year’s album HOPELESSNESS OF PEOPLE WE have a few pics from Simon’s day below #

Lightning nation have an interview with GARY about all things negative that can be used for positive
Link: https://lightningnation.co.uk/2018/04/13/exclusive-preview-the-survival-code-discuss-forthcoming-album-hopelessness-of-people/ 2018 Gary McGuinness’ story is one that’s fraught with setbacks. Unreliable band mates, absent producers, and dodgy managers have threatened to throw The Survival Code off course time and time again. Many would have taken the relentless bad luck as an omen and packed it all in for a handsomely-paid job in finance, but if anything it’s made Gary

“THE LOWDOWN UNDER” review “ALONG THE WAY”
Link: http://thelowdownunder.com/2018/03/22/listen-along-the-way-by-the-survival-code/ HIGHLIGHTS: “a blitzkrieg of zig-zagging guitars and soaring harmonies which launches at breakneck speed and only picks up pace at it progresses” ” but adds a more aggressive tone to their already no nonsense, no compromise, no prisoners approach. Dispensing with music industry protocol, flaky hangers-on and moody introspection, Survival Code grab you by the ears and swing you around the ro

Lightening Nation cover ALONG THE WAY
Title: https://lightningnation.co.uk/2018/04/04/the-survival-code-return-with-alt-rock-banger-along-the-way/ HIGHLIGHTS: “The juggernaut places doorstep-sized riffs at the forefront of the song, lending an urgency to the pace and a ferociousness to the tone” “The raging guitars only let up for Gary McGuinness’ emphatic rock vocal to take spotlight in the verse, but the song’s at it’s most powerful when the two forces work in tandem for the blistering choruses” #drumming #hope

Chapter 5 : 7 String delight
I have been infatuated with the ESP Ltd SCT607-B for as long as I can remember…or at least since they released it as a Telecaster with a baritone edge. Our tuning is Drop C and is pretty is low tuned for what we do (Rock /Alt Rockwith singing). We have one other Baritone in our guitar Arsenal – Hagstrom Viking which we used on our debut album – MMXV on the intro to “Burning”. Everyone unanimously purred having heard the low end on the machine along with enough resonance to ra

MMXVI – 2015/wrap up and 2016 plans
SO here we go… We have had a smashing start to 2016 and end to 2015…what an 18months! NEW MATERIAL The last few months of 2015 were all about making progress and a plan for 2016. Ideally I wanted to have a situation where we break up for a few weeks for the Xmas period with a cd each to listen to with all the demos. Sitting at the Mac on Nov1st, nothing was recorded and many ideas hadn’t been questioned. What followed was a necessary and dark period to make the songs happen.

So much thinking….
Hello cruel world! I hope this Friday finds you well. Having spent much of the last 10 weeks in subconscious turmoil, I think we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. We have been working hard the last week to finalise and secure the remaining dates of the year and planning our next video as we speak. The next single will be a soft release (Without going to radio) but we are very excited about getting to work on some of our ideas. New songs have also been d
