OVERVIEW Greek alternative / grunge rockers 10 CODE, rise with the amazing debut full length album that is “Swiftlets”. Delivering a powerful combination of Foo Fighters-styled stadium rock, the minimal rock groove of Queens of the Stone Age and the sophisticated grunge-rock approach of Soundgarden, 10 CODE bring in life what seems to be one of the most important records of the Greek alternative rock scene, for 2016. The amazing vocals of frontman Petros Potamianos combine the wide range and singing style of Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) with the aggressive feel that Monster Magnet’s Dave Wyndorf delivers when singing in a higher register, sometimes sounding pretty close to Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato. The tight rhythm section gets empowered by the powerful sound production of renowned sound engineer and producer Alex Bolpasis (The Noise Figures, Transistor etc) at Artracks Recording Studios, Athens, Greece, resulting in an impressive outcome, suitable for all rock fans, regardless of the genre.
