Codeseven is a melodic rock ensemble originating from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Established in 1995, their debut official album, A Sense of Coalition (1998), achieved recognition on college radio stations, particularly for their rendition of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer."
In 1999, the release of Division of Labor placed them prominently within the hardcore music scene. Following the exit of vocalist David Owen, their 2002 album The Rescue showcased a transition toward melodic, progressive, and experimental space rock styles, moving away from their hardcore origins. Their last album prior to disbanding, Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds (2004), was issued through Equal Vision Records. The group dissolved in 2005 as members pursued separate ventures.
On July 1, 2010, Codeseven revealed plans for a reunion performance scheduled for August 20, 2010, at Greensboro’s Greene Street Club. The favorable response to this event led to further touring opportunities, including supporting Circa Survive alongside Dredg and Animals as Leaders starting October 15, 2010. This reunion tour featured selections from their newer albums as well as six tracks performed with original singer Dave Owen, notably including their well-known cover of "The Boys of Summer."
In October 2023, Codeseven announced the release of a new single titled "Hold Tight," taken from their forthcoming album Go Let It In, which is scheduled for release on December 1, 2023 via Equal Vision Records. Accompanying the single was an official music video. A subsequent single, "Rough Seas," was released with its own video on November 30. The complete album became available on December 1.
Starting May 3, 2024, the band embarked on a United States tour supporting He Is Legend in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their 2004 album I Am Hollywood.
