Color Code - 'Feelin' Fine' EP (2025)

Color Code is an alt-rock band from Kansas City: with Josh Fowler on vocals, Corbin Anderon on guitar, Jacob Sixta on guitar, and Kay Manchion on drums, the band released their debut EP ‘Feelin’ Fine’ on March 27.

Prior to releasing the EP, the band released the songs “Start Again” (November 2024) and later the title track “Feelin’ Fine” as singles.

Recently the band played their debut show at VIVO last Sunday, May 18.

Their next show will be Stratgazer’s Rock The Warehouse with Burn The Gates, Spaceborne Killers, Atypical, Dirty Blvd, Easy Tiger, and Fritsy on June 21.

I interviewed the band about the EP, their songwriting process, and what is next for the band:

Color Code: Josh (vocals) and Corbin (guitar) formed Color Code in 2020 and began writing music for their debut release. Jacob (guitar) joined in 2023, and Kay (drums) joined in 2024.

Color Code: Our band is influenced by early 2000s rock/metal bands as well as modern alternative rock and pop-punk.
