Codename Colin

Codename Colin, based in Hemel Hempstead, have carved a distinct reputation in the British ska and pop punk scene since 2016. Famed for their brass-fuelled, high-octane performances, the band’s infectious energy and horn-driven hooks set them apart within the alternative music landscape. Their acclaimed album, Escape from Everything, released in 2019, along with their earlier EP Outgunned, have both become staples of their dynamic live sets, often complemented by inventive covers that showcase their signature ska-punk flair.

With roots in Hertfordshire, Codename Colin have electrified audiences across the UK. Recent shows have seen them headline venues such as The Black Heart in Camden and The Bodega in Nottingham, where they set the stage ablaze with their energetic brand of ska punk. Their versatility is well regarded, performing alongside acts including Suburban Legends as headliners. Notably, at the UNDERCOVER Festival in Essex in September 2025, Codename Colin delivered spirited support sets on lineups led by Pores of Chilltown, sharing the bill with punk icons like Subhumanz, Skids, and Eddie & The Hot Rods.

Codename Colin’s live repertoire features standout tracks such as "Declan", "Losing Touch", and the title track "Escape from Everything", all brimming with the vibrancy that has become their hallmark. Those passionate about live music, ska punk, and energetic gigs are encouraged to follow Codename Colin and keep an eye out for their upcoming tour dates and concerts.
