Pittsburgh's Code Orange Kids can now claim to have a Deathwish.
The local hardcore punk outfit -- made up of recent high school grads -- has signed to Deathwish, the independent label that launched such bands as Boysetsfire and Knives Out, and currently features the likes of Converge, the Hope Conspiracy and Touche Amore.
Deathwish writes that Code Orange Kids "remind us off our own embryonic days in the aggressive music scene. ... Unconcerned with the direction of other artists, their brand of gritty hardcore/punk is simply refreshing to hear. Merging cryptic melody, dirty hardcore power, and intense dirge into their own uniquely inspired sound."
The band plans to hit the studio for a 2012 release.
COKs, which relocated to Philadelphia last summer, features drummer/singer Jami Morgan, guitarist Reba Meyers and Joe Goldman (all from CAPA) and guitarist Eric Balderose (son of Callope founder George Balderose and PA Virtual Charter School grad).
The band worked its way up through the Pittsburgh scene in part by opening for such bands as Anti-Flag, The Misfits, The Bronx and Subhumans.
In a November 2010 P-G story, the band described its sound as "doomy, abrasive" hardcore punk in the vein of Black Flag, Integrity and Converge and noted "We didn't sound like any bands we knew at CAPA and Allderdice."
Code Orange Kids, who recently released a 7" called "Cycles," are currently on tour on the West Coast.
