"The band really does a great job showing us the ability that they have to write and perform songs that will stand out from the pack and get your ears to a happy place. I am looking forward to hearing a complete album from them in the future and will be looking for their previous releases"

January 16, 2017

“The band’s sound is reminiscent of Queens of the Stone Age meets Coheed and Cambria but unique enough to be memorable, especially with this EP”

ONE-“At first listen, it has the formula for a typical Rock anthem, but the guitar riff is sure to be unforgettable. The raw and gritty vocals provided by vocalist and guitarist Gary McGuinness definitely hook you in”

January 25, 2017

"f someone is a fan of rock music, they need some of The Survival Code in their lives. Everything about this band is a hit, their songs are powerful and moving. The band has a good reputation of putting up an excellent live show in front of audiences"

January 01, 2020

"The band is very nice with using catchy riffs over stylish way of singing. As they sound so modern, their old-school spirit is very obvious through their song structure and lyrical themes"

January 18, 2017

"The latest release from London-based band The Survival Code, “Broken Strings” is a hard-hitting track filled with steely determination"

​

"Packed with a sizzling energy that hooks you from the start, infectiously surging riffs are evidently what The Survival Code do best"

January 21, 2017

“A total assault on the aural senses is exactly how “One”, the new single from London indie outfit The Survival Code, hits you from 0:00. The guitars chug throughout like a freight train and the back beat hits you like an absolute psycho. This is a song that doesn’t f*ck around. A must have for new music”

January 23, 2017

"One uncages a tide of jabbing beats and imposing riffs but with a creative restraint which allows all aspects within to express and tempt around the potent vocals of McGuinness"

"From start to finish, it is a relentless persuasion which has body and spirit involved"

January 09, 2017

"Heavy guitar chords are thrown threw the air in ONE,  layered guitar riffs, a melodically tight and impressive bass player, with a song ( more a message really) that lead singer & guitarist Gary McGuinness fronts with real rock prowess"

December 11, 2016

"The three songs are played tightly and with passion, a passion that is easy to hear from the impassioned vocals and deft playing from the band." - NEW NOISE MAGAZINE

December 12, 2016

“If you are a fan of rock then you NEED the music of The Survival Code in your collection”

January 01, 2020

"...this EP is quite a departure. With less focus on melody and more on complex guitar rhythms..."

January 02, 2020

"...Broken Strings,’ as an EP is a no holds barred, heavy-handed throw-down that is meant to cut right through the bullshit and straight to the bone..."

January 03, 2020

"...The song punches steadily forward under the guidance of Tom Cook’s pounding skinsmanship; it builds and rises triumphantly into a soaringly transportive chorus that flies the listener high on wings of sharply crisp riffing..."

As a teaser for a larger proposal, tracks do not come much more persuasive than Broken Strings, the new single from UK alternative rockers The Survival Code.

I was lucky enough to be a part of Survival Code’s album launch for their debut album MMXV (which in roman numerals stands for 2015). I got to witness the start to what is looking to be a promising future for these guys. this item about? 

August 02, 2015

It’s sort of hard to believe that this is the bands debut album. Sounding astonishingly tight, realised and mature, it’s easy to see The Survival Code picking up a good few admires / devotees following the release of this album. 

September 23, 2015

MMXV is the debut album from London based outfit The Survival Code. The three piece have been knocking around since the turn of the decade, building a loyal fanbase throughout the capital with their brand of rock and using their live show as a tool to get fans coming back for more. this item about? 

November 26, 2015

The Survival Code are a no gimmick, straight up guitar-led Alt-Rock band consisting of drums, bass, lead and rhythm guitar. FX pedals are about as hi-tech as the live set up gets, with no sequencers or laptops in sight.  this item about?

What's this item about? What

First up stood London-based rockers, The Survival Code. With an enthrallingly perfected live presence that could only have been obtained from constant rehearsals and gigging, the band’s no-nonsense rock sound is something missing in the charts right now. people more about this item.
