History
Code of Ethics formed in the early '90s with Barry Blaze and Eric Switzer. The duo released Visual Paradox as a self-published project, which was later picked up by Indie label R.E.X. Music in 1991. An independent record label (or indie record label) is a Record label operating without the funding of or outside the organizations of the Major record labels REX Records was an Independent record label that operated from 1987 until running into financial difficulty in 1995. In the early 1990s, the band's music was quite unique in that they were one of the few Christian music artists performing a europop style. With their early sound being largely reminiscent of New Order, their later works became simultaneously more progressive and more tame in nature. New Order are an English rock group formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner ( vocals, Guitars Synthesizers, Peter Hook Many fans believe their mid-90's pop-leanings were forced by their involvement with major label ForeFront Records, as evidenced by the underground release of an industrial-leaning mix of the "Satellite Babies" project which was obscured by the mainstream release of the same recording in tamed-down form. Forefront Records was also a punk record label and distribution in Hoboken New Jersey
With a new label came new pressures and Eric decided to exit the band. Rick Brainer, Scott "Skippy" Chapman, and Scot Kifer then joined for a self-titled second album released in 1993, and garnered their first #1 single at radio, "Something Real". Personal life Skippy was born November 1, 1975 in Memphis Tennessee Kifer left by the end of the year. Later, Jeff Anderson would join for 1995's Arms Around the World, an album that would not only give Code two more #1's, but also let Code of Ethics receive its first Gospel Music Award Nomination in 1997.
In late 1996, the band came off the road for various reasons concerning family and health problems. It was then that Barry Blaze recruited Charles Garrett, Jerry Mowrey, and Steve Dale. The trio recorded Soulbait for a 1997 release.
In early 1998, Skippy and Rick Brainer came back and made up the last Code of Ethics lineup. Personal life Skippy was born November 1, 1975 in Memphis Tennessee The band went ahead and recorded "Blaze", and the band was nominated for its second Gospel Music Award in 2000.
Code of Ethics has also released a remix album entitled Mix (1992) remixed by Barry and Ian Eskelin' and a remix album called Extended Play Remixes (1994) remixed by DJ Scott Blackwell.
