Episode 261: CODE:WORDS

In this episode of You Make The Scene, we sit down with John and Max of CODE:WORDS for a conversation that dives into what it looks like to be a newer band already starting to make noise in the scene. We talk about how quickly things have been moving for them and the mindset it takes to keep up that momentum. A big part of the conversation centers around surrounding yourself with the right people, whether that’s collaborators, team members, or industry partners, and how those relationships have helped shape the direction of the band. John and Max also share what it’s been like signing with The Artery Foundation and what that step means for them moving forward. On the creative side, we get into the importance of vulnerability in their music and how being open and honest has helped them connect with listeners early on. It’s a laid-back, honest conversation with a band that’s clearly building something meaningful, and doing it with intention every step of the way.
