How much can you give to a cause before the battling finally takes an irreparable toll on an already suffering body and mind? In the minds of these four young men, there is no question of ever having given enough...

"We are what we do... without this we would cease to exist."

Its this attitude that has kept Kody on the road throughout a gruelling year of endless touring. In the last 12 months, the four piece have played everywhere from a small local Irish bar in Falmouth to the worlds most famous club, the Liverpool Cavern. One night theyre playing to 400 people in a theatre on the Isle of Wight and a few days later to a hand full of strangers in a quaint riverside ale house in Newcastle...

"Its the ups and downs that make it special. It takes that monotony out of life..."

This rollercoaster existence they now (semi) enjoy is a far cry from their quiet small town roots. Kody are from the Isle of Wight, a small diamond shaped piece of land four miles off the south coast of England. Places of beauty and interest, why go anywhere else? asks the tourist board... fair question.

"Its a great place to grow up and a great place to retire... its the middle portion that will break you."

Question answered...

In a small town geared toward the almost extinct package tourist, what else is there to do but form a band and get fake ID? Not much apparently, therefore Gareth, Tom, Tim and Turlough set about their mission for world domination in the back street bars of a dying town.

After playing in several different local bands Gareth and Turlough finally joined forces in the summer of 2003, Tim joined as a second guitarist a few months later and Kody began to take shape...

Almost three years had passed with the odd glimmer of something followed up with a swift slap to the collective bruised face... The band has moved to London and had to move home again, lived in Surrey and had to move home again...

But continuous gigging in Londons premier venues and the experience of recording in top studios with world renowned producers, Nick Smith (The Police) and Simon Handhart (Zomba, Bowie) have levelled the scales...

"We were lost in a state of disarray and didnt know what was going to happen from one minute to the next. But were a stronger unit for all that has happened..."

It was in this lost period that Nigel Taffy Lloyd joined as a honoury fifth member. Taffy is the bands driver, roadie, tour manager and father away from home.

This period is over now and Tom Ladds has since joined the line up as the missing piece.

With this addition the boys have matured into one of the countries hardest working bands... No venue too small, no crowd too intimidating... Kody will be there come rain or shine giving everything they have...

"I think were a little old fashioned to be honest. Were a band based around songs. This obsession with image really isnt our scene. I hope our sincerity comes across. Thats our aim, to be real."

Heres to the future. Clich?s all the way. Live the dream...
